Church built 1899–1900, there is a stork's nest on the roof. Formerly the Church of the Reformed Swiss Settlers. The previous building (half-timbered church) had to be demolished because it was dilapidated

The neo-Gothic hall church from 1899/1900 consists of a west tower, nave, choir, and sacristy. The façade of the massive exposed brick building rises on a low granite base and is sparingly structured by pointed arch windows with molded stone frames and buttresses. The east wall of the shallow choir is decorated with a large triple window and a circular blind window. The base and apex of the gable triangle are emphasized by pinnacle-like pillars, as is the case with the gable of the slightly higher nave. The sacristy extension, with its pent roof, leans against the north side of the choir and has segmental arch windows and a separate entrance on the west side. The slender, square west tower with a high spire in the form of a folded roof with slate tiles, has, in addition to the narrow lancet-shaped blind windows to the north, west, and south, clock panels and another round window in the lower section of the west side. The main entrance to the church is located on the north side of the tower and is reached via granite steps. The portal jamb is set back three steps and is framed by a double door with elaborate fittings.
