description
The hall church was built at the beginning of the 18th century. The church tower in the west comes from the previous building. The nave is covered with a mansard roof. In 1821 the top floor of the tower was built from timber framing, as can be seen from the weather vane . On top of it sits the stump of a slate-covered pyramid roof , which is continued in an eight-sided, pointed helmet .
The interior has three-sided, two-story galleries . Their parapets are painted with Old and New Testament scenes. The pulpit altar dates from the time the church was built. It is decorated with large, carved statues of Jesus Christ and Moses . There are small paintings above the pulpit and the two side passages . The 17th century painting of Jesus' Last Supper comes from either an altarpiece or an epitaph .
The organ with 13 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal , was built in 1898 by Friedrich Petersilie.
