The church, especially the choir and tower, date back to the early 15th century, the nave was built in 1852. The beautifully structured tower with its five floors and the three Gothic pointed arches per floor, which is crowned with a high octagonal, catches the eye Pointed helmet with the rare oriel attachments at the four corners. It is attached to the late Gothic choir in the north, although it was redesigned in the Baroque period. The sacristy is nestled in the corner between the tower and the choir. The nave is a simple hall construction with modern painting of the ceiling. The chancel is drawn in with a beautiful vault. The richly decorated high altar with four twisted columns was created in 1743. In the middle is the sculpture of St. Michael, his attributes carried by angels, with the holy women Katharina and Margarita at his side, all from the 17th century. Above in the so-called excerpt a painting "God the Father with Angels".
