History and architecture
A pastor was first mentioned in 1212. The building from 1410 is essentially a three- bay staircase hall. The west tower, the west half yoke and the two aisle yokes on the tower were built in 1513. An extension to the east with the choir and transept was carried out from 1912 to 1914 under the direction of the architect Sunder-Plaßmann. The interior of the church is structured by strong round pillars. The consoles for the ribbed vaults are on the wall pillars or on the nave wall . The consoles are shaped like crabs, masks and crouching figurines; they are popularly called Düwelkes ( little devils). The walls are divided by pointed arch windows with fish bubble tracery.
The tower , in the style of the Lower Rhine late Gothic , is crowned with a tent roof. Its upper floors, framed by sandstone blocks, are loosened up by tracery friezes and tracery panels. On the west side of the lower, three-sided converted tower storey, a deep, ogival hollow valley is embedded, which combines the two-part portal and the skylight window with fish bubble tracery. The tower hall with a star vault is open to the main nave and the side aisles in ogival arcades .
Since the tower was badly damaged, it was extensively renovated on the 500th anniversary of its existence in 2013.
