The Romanesque fieldstone brick building dates from the 12th century. On the tower there is a transverse hipped roof resting on knags, underneath there is a room that is only accessible from the inside, which was probably used as a refuge for the population in times of need. A dendrochronological investigation carried out a few years ago found that the oldest wooden beams in the tower date back to the 14th century. The interior is covered by a wooden ceiling painted in the Renaissance style with plant ornaments. On the stone altar there is a plate with consecration crosses, which are believed to date from the 12th century
