The Holy Cross Church on the so-called Kaulhügel is probably designed in its original form as a fortified church and includes a gate tower, the surrounding church field and a mighty defensive wall with strong struts on the south side. Gaden is documented in the churchyard in 1319. The age of the tower cannot be proven with certainty. However, it was rebuilt and redesigned in 1687. In 1705, today's church was rebuilt while retaining the early Gothic tower basement.

The valuable pulpit of an unknown artist also dates from this period. There are beautifully carved wooden reliefs in the four fields on the pulpit body and on the staircase. A two-story wooden gallery is built along the northern long side of the nave.

The church's current appearance results from many renovation and redesign work:
First in 1892, then in 1966, last time in 1999 (complete interior renovation) and 2006 (complete exterior renovation).
