In the middle of the 13th century an extension was made, the church was then a two-bay hall building with a transept and choir square . The strong west tower with numerous split arched openings was built in the twelfth century. The Welsche hood and the roof turret were put on in 1715. The church was completely restored from 1975 to 1980.
