Exterior construction

The church is a plastered quarry stone building . The west tower, newly built in 1602 and covered with a pointed helmet, takes up the entire width of the main nave. The choir and the sacristy in the apex were added in 1717. According to Ernst Wackenroder , the western vestibule was built around 1730 .

Nikolaus Reinartz assumes, based on the records of the Zingsheim pastor Matthias Pfleumer (1700–1712), that the church was rebuilt in 1711, including building the small vestibule in front of a new entrance broken through the west wall of the tower and demolishing the south aisle has been.

According to the plans of Georg Lünenborg , a new south-facing nave with 185 seats was added to the south side of the old parish church in 1965.

The church, originally a single-nave hall structure , was probably converted into a three-nave basilica in the 12th century. The groin vault in the eastern yoke has been preserved from this building . The ribbed vaults in the north aisle and in the main nave date from the late Gothic period. The three- sided choir adjoins the three-bay nave in the east.

In the south of the main nave, three arched arcades open to the extension by the architect Georg Lünenborg.
