The hall church was rebuilt on the site of a medieval predecessor building between 1726 and 1756, including older parts such as the tower and sacristy. In 1828 a gallery was built; the dome of the tower dates from 1902. Restorations took place in 1902 and from 1987 to 1993.
The rectangular nave is adjoined in the east by the choir with a three-eighth note, in the west by the square tower with a baroque hood. The plaster facade is provided with an elaborate window architecture in sandstone. The central windows are combined with the underlying basket arch portals.
In the three-aisled interior, the spatial effect is determined by the cross vaults between wide transverse arches above the four pillars. Two-storey galleries with wooden parapets are installed between the pillars. On the north side of the chancel is the ruler's loge with a curved prospectus with cartouches and coat of arms decoration. Opposite, the richly profiled door leads to the sacristy, a porch with segmental arch roofing and vases.
The main piece of equipment is the stately altar made of sandstone and wood, which was created between 1733 and 1735. Column architecture with a richly animated gable finish structures the structure. The paintings show the Last Supper in the predella, above it the Descent from the Cross, and were painted by the Dresdener Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich based on Rubens. The sculptures were created according to an inscription by Andreas Böhmer and show Moses and John next to the column bases as well as God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit between angels in the gable.
Instead of the Moses figure popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, a magnificent pulpit made of sandstone has a heavily moved angel and allegorical figures on the basket as a base, which were probably also made by Andreas Böhmer in 1734. The sandstone baptismal font in the form of a vase is provided with reliefs, the wooden lid with a depiction of the pelican as a symbol was only added after 1745. Quality sandstone pastor's tombs from the 18th century are placed on the southern outer wall.
