At the beginning of the 17th century, the unadorned hall church was built in place of a medieval chapel . It was rebuilt from scratch in 1806 as a simple rectangular building. This year is given in a cartridge above the outside door . A roof turret rises from the hipped roof , in which hangs a small bronze bell without a year, which was cast by the bell founder Rose . The second bell space is empty.
The nave has a single-storey horseshoe-shaped gallery and is covered with a flat ceiling. A pulpit altar decorated with rocaille stands free in front of the wall. Once existing fixtures, such as B. the parish office has been removed. A baptismal font made of artificial stone was given to the community in 1910. In the gallery there is an organ that was built by Johann Michael Georgi and his son Johann Friedrich Georgi and can only be played to a limited extent. A harmonium is available for this.
