description
A church was built in the 13th century on the place where the wooden chapel of St. Andrew used to be. The church got its present appearance on the initiative of the Lords of Meusebach in 1626/1627. The hall church has a recessed square choir tower . The wooden bell house next to the church was built in 1834 because the belfry in the tower's helmet could no longer carry the bells . The oldest and smallest bell dates from 1404.
In the 18th century the church was changed and repaired. On the choir and on the south side of the nave , which is covered with a gable roof , there are two-lane windows and a decorated portal . In the south there is a pointed arched portal with a profiled garment and a pair of columns on pedestals , crowned by small obelisks . Above that, a cartouche has an inscription that has, however, been extinguished and a coat of arms of Georg Albert Meusbach, which was inserted in 1639. The stairs to the gallery are on the west side .
The fixed and movable church furnishings, including the choir, are mostly from the 2nd quarter of the 17th century. The nave has three-sided, multiple altered galleries with a massive spiral staircase in the southwest corner. The balustrades of the galleries are coffered and have columns on the north and west sides. On the parapets in the north and west, 19 scenes of the Passion are painted , in the south the apostles and the evangelists . In the south-east corner of the nave are the pulpit and a church stand painted with Rococo ornamentation, both of which were built around 1762. The pulpit was later moved here. The painting of the groin vault of the choir made of clouds, angels' heads and angels with instruments of torture, and the walls of the choir, there are only fragments of scrollwork painting , was made in 1639. The altar is from 1649. The altar retable has folk paintings of the crucifixion and the burial. The round baptismal font is from 1630. The organ with 13 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal , was built in 1865 by Daniel Adolf Poppe .
