description

The elongated hall church made of quarry stones or ashlar stones has a church tower in the west, of which some remains from the end of the 12th century have been preserved. In 1438 the choir was added and in 1462 it was completed on three sides. The yoke of the choir and the polygonal connection are spanned by a ribbed vault on consoles . The keystone is decorated with Agnus Dei . The ground floor of the tower, spanned by a groin vault , is open to the nave with squat, arched passages . The former mausoleum of the Wichtringhausen manor is attached to the tower. When the church roof was renovated in 1928, so many donations were collected that it was possible to cover the church tower with double pointed pyramid roofs . The nave , covered with a wooden beam ceiling , was renewed in 1653, its walls and those of the choir are supported by buttresses . There is a late Romanesque portal on the south side . The triumphal arch stands on the side of the nave on Gothic fighters , on the side of the choir on Romanesque. In the church there is an offering box from the end of the 12th century. The surrounding choir stalls are from 1584. The organ with 17 registers , divided into 2 manuals and the pedal , was built in 1967 by the Hillebrand Orgelbau brothers and restored in 2004 by Georg Hünning.
