The church of St. Simon and Judas , built around 1325 by the Teutonic Order , was demolished in 1905 except for the tower and replaced by a new, neo-baroque brick building. When the old church was demolished, a small silver treasure was found (a chalice and a monstrance from the 14th century), which may have been hidden here during the Swedish times.
The furnishings of the church from the Baroque and Rococo periods were restored around 1940 and included the following parts:
- Altar of Mary around 1600, designed by Anselm Rabe from Groß Waplitz and worked out by Justus Reitlein
- Anthony altar, after 1716
- High altar, around 1700
- Holy water font, probably from the 15th century.
- Offering box from 1699
- Pulpit and baptismal font, 1st half of the 18th century
