The current church building was erected between 1892 and 1893. Before that, the other church, built in 1842, was shared by Catholics and Protestants. Disputes between confessionals led to the division of the church. In 1886 the Catholics bought the property rights of the Evangelicals to the common church for 4,800 marks. With this profit and a government grant of 8,740 marks, the Evangelicals had their new church built. It was inaugurated on November 29, 1893. After various plans had been drawn up, an undemanding, south-facing hall building made of unplastered slate rubble was chosen. The building in neo-Romanesque forms has a high base, pilaster strips, arched frieze and three arched windows each. A four-storey facade tower with a Rhenish diamond helmet juts out over the church. The apse is pentagonal on the outside and round on the inside. The trusses are visible, the rafters boarded up.

Churches always have something about themselves. But with the recruitment of the old men, they become orphaned. The dream loop belongs to the gentler kind and is still very beautiful.
