The stone-faced hall church was built from 1839 to 1841 according to a design by Georg Moller in place of a dilapidated previous building that was demolished in 1838. The nave has three bays, there is no choir. The outer walls are divided by pilaster strips. An arched frieze runs along the eaves and along the edge of the gable. A window cornice runs below the arched window. The steeple to the west is capped with a pointed eight-sided slated spire, bordered by a trellis at its base. The interior is dominated by the pulpit behind the altar, which is located on the wall under the gallery on which the organ stands under a large floor. The other galleries are above arcades. The columns of the arcades have Corinthian capitals. The organ built by Johann Nikolaus Schäfer in 1720 was sold in 1841 and replaced with a new one.

The high, pointed tower of the Protestant church can be clearly seen from afar.

Unfortunately, the church was closed, so that one could not take a look inside
