The brick building - hall church with a massive cross rectangular tower was built in 1956 by architect W. Schröter and 1995-1996 by the architect community Baumewerd remodeled inside. The altar created by Erwin Heerich has been moved from the higher choir to the center of the church. The entire wall of the choir was covered with a canvas on which the artist Ben Willikens painted a mural in various shades of gray.
