From a stone building from the second half of the 13th century, the elongated rectangular choir with the barrel-vaulted sacristy to the south has been preserved. The east gable and windows have been renewed and have brick edging; the arched frieze was added according to old remains. The building has pointed arched step portals. The church was mentioned as St. Mary in 1390 and 1404, but has had the patronage of St. Petri since around 1442 .

After a fire in 1442, the nave was renovated as a three-nave, four-bay hall church with buttresses on the outside. The north portal made of granite blocks from the previous building was reused, as was the substructure of the tower. Inside, octagonal pillars support the partition arches , which were originally provided with cross vaults . A restoration was carried out in 1901/1902, with the east gable and the arched frieze on the choir as well as the windows with borders and simple tracery in brick were renewed. At the end of April 1945, about 70% of the town with the church was destroyed by fire. The vaults and the half-timbered tower of the tower were destroyed with all the furnishings. By around 1955 the barrel vaulted choir and the nave with flat ceilings were restored. The tower was initially given a longitudinal gable roof as a conclusion.

The tower was rebuilt in 2007-2008. A square and an octagonal half-timbered tower were restored on the field stone substructure with a pointed spire .

Furnishing

Nothing has been preserved from the original furnishings. After the reconstruction, the church received an organ from the Sauer Orgelbau company from 1959 with 16 stops on two manuals and a pedal. This organ had to be restored in 2011 after water damage.

The historical equipment is formed by a triumphal cross group from 1863 from the village church of Vietlübbe .
