The Martin Luther Church was built from 1857 to 1861 by Christian Heyden. It is a neo-Gothic hall church with west tower. The interior is provided with circumferential galleries. Inside, a chandelier from 1659 hangs. Particularly noteworthy is the (probably) original zinc casting of a baptismal font by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, which was given to the parish in the 19th century by the then Prussian crown prince.
