history
The church was originally built as a late Gothic church on a cone of rubble. The oldest parts of the church can be traced back to a single-nave Romanesque building. The building was in the 13./14. Century expanded to three aisles. Around 1500 it was converted into today's church, the core of which is still in the late Gothic style. A fire in 1648 destroyed the south tower, which was not restored.
In the years 1971–1973 the church was expanded for liturgical and demographic reasons and received its present form. The old choir was torn down and replaced by a modern one. With the extension, a new high chancel was created, which is overlaid with a six-fold folded wooden roof structure and thus reaches a height of 22 meters.
