A specialty among the Lower Saxon village churches is the church to the east, above the town center on Thieberg. The simple hall building was added to an older round tower in the 15th century to the east, which with its partly walled-in narrow window slits and the remains of bay windows still serves as a defensive structure to this day Character of the tower reveals. The tower built around 1308, which also adorns the coat of arms of the town, was originally a control room for the southernmost fortification train in the city of Göttingen. At the end of the 18th century, the nave was rebuilt and the tower was given an octagonal tower hood. The portal, which later broke into the tower in the west, dates from 1821 to further renovation work on the church. The church received its current interior in the 20th century using parts of the former baroque pulpit altar.

The church has a three-storey round tower, which dates from 1308 and is approx. 16 m high. This was originally a control room. The nave was added in the 15th century. At the end of the 18th century, renovation work took place on the ship and on the tower. The tower received an octagonal lantern with high-rectangular sound openings on all sides with a slipped Welschen hood with knob and weather vane. At the end of the 18th century, the window openings on the south side of the nave were broken into the wall.
