The wooden church, with a floor plan of 6 x 12 m and a height of 9 m, is the first large building to be erected on the site. The interior was divided off by choir screens. More than 14,000 shingles were used for the roofing. The adjoining cloister invites you to rest and linger. The bell that was cast on the site in 2018 hangs in the tower. It rings just after 1 p.m. every day. There is also a sound board, the "Tabula", in the tower. It is struck for the employees 4 times a day, at the beginning and end of work.

Anyone who loves "crafts" and especially working with wood will be thrilled by the church and the bell tower.
