The church was consecrated in 1199. It originally had a small wooden tower (so-called bell stack). Großsolt's stone tower dates back to 1920. Directly opposite is the old church jug.

The Großsolt Church is a Romanesque fieldstone church, built at the end of the 12th century as a single-nave fieldstone building with a box chancel. At that time, the church and village lay directly on the Treßsee. Neither the exact year of construction nor the saint it was originally dedicated to is known. In the late Gothic period, the chancel was vaulted. The chancel arch was given a Gothic pointed arch. At about the same time, the vestibule in front of the south portal, the so-called armory, was added.
The striking, tall fieldstone tower was only built in 1920. Previously, the church had a wooden bell tower leaning against the nave.

The oldest piece of equipment, like that of many churches in Angeln, is a granite font dating from around the time of its construction. However, the Großsolt church is not an imported baptismal font, but the work of a local stonemason. The cupola features relief figures of Peter, Paul, and the symbols of the Evangelists. Its base is an inverted cube capital with corner heads and legendary figures (a dragon).

The triumphal cross in the chancel arch dates from the end of the 15th century.

The Renaissance-style pulpit, created in 1614, is the work of an unknown woodcarver associated with the workshop of Heinrich Ringerink. The gallery pulpit, with herm pilasters, corresponds to the so-called Angler type.

The reliefs depict scenes from the history of salvation (Annunciation, Birth of Jesus, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension), explained by Latin texts.

The Baroque altarpiece, with its rich acanthus carvings, came to the church around 1700.

The altarpiece from 1920 depicts the Raising of Lazarus. H. Bruhn painted it in 1920 based on a model by Rubens. The votive ship "Urania" was donated in 1719 by the Detleffsen family of sailors. The original is now housed in the Flensburg Maritime Museum.

The organ was donated by a farmer from the village of Kollerup, which belongs to the parish.
