The place was first mentioned in 1285 as Frankenforde. However, it is not due to a larger watercourse to be overcome. So it seems to be a question of a mere transfer of names, perhaps also an indication of the origin of the settlers who are assigned here. This is also indicated by the name of the directly neighboring Frankenfelde.
The church is a simple rectangular hall. Towards the end of the 17th century, the slate roof tower with a rider was added to the west. The vestibule, also in the west, followed at the end of the 19th century. The actual building was constructed from relatively regular layers of split fieldstone, which alternated with small gussets. The masonry of the east gable, on the other hand, is irregular.
All side windows were enlarged in stitch arches. Only on the south side is a small high original window visible. The two original entrances to the church are also located here: the parish portal and the priest's gate. Both with pointed arches of brick and both walled. In the east, the openings of the three-window group were provided with plaster frames like the other windows, but they seem to have remained unchanged.
Due to the fact that the masonry work was no longer too careful and brick was used on the portal walls, the building could probably be dated to the first half of the 14th century. The east gable was rebuilt, perhaps after a catastrophic fire, as the irregular masonry shows. The main change, the conversion of windows and portals, took place in the 18th century, the period from which the interior also dates.
