The small chapel in masonry sandstone was built in 1180 in the style of Romanesque built. The lower masonry of the church and the apse still date from this period . The building history can be traced from the inscriptions carved in stone . In 1696 the hall church covered with a gable roof , which is mentioned in a document as the Vicariate Chapel of St. Nicholas, was rebuilt and supplemented with a slate-covered roof tower with an eight-sided bulbous dome crowned by an open lantern . It houses the bronze bell from 1491. The retracted apse, its subsequently enlarged windows in the east and south-east, which have been preserved, form the end of the nave . There is also a baptismal font from 1597. The old clockwork with a stone weight as a drive was installed in 1722 and is now on display in the nave . The ceiling between the two-story galleries on three sides was spanned with a wooden barrel vault in 1775/76 . In the course of extensive construction work, the upper gallery, the pulpit , the altar and large rectangular windows on the north and south sides were installed in 1859 , and the organ was renewed.
