history

A sundial is attached to the south side of the nave of the baroque hall church , which was built between 1722 and 1725 .

The 44 meter high, drawn-in, slated west tower with an octagonal hood and open lantern was added in 1777. The choir is closed on three sides and the nave is covered with a slate mansard roof.

The room has two-story, circumferential galleries . The two kettle drums belonging to the church were restored in 2001 and decorate the room. The two-story pulpit altar stands in the east . The central door to the room is flanked with glazed windows and pillars next to it support the pulpit . On the side there are figures of Moses and Christ . Palm trees decorate the pulpit entrance.
