    The chapel building in Varmissen belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of St. Martini in Dransfeld. It is made of crushed limestone with corner ashlars. The oldest part dates back to the 14th century and was originally designed as a four-storey defense tower. The addition of a slightly larger and also only slightly lower rectangular nave on the northwest side of the tower was probably only a short time later. In the upper area in the tower and in the nave, the loophole-like window slits are still preserved, which underline the defensive character of the medieval building. On the ground floor, on the other hand, larger round-arched windows were broken in the 18th century. Another major structural change is the removal of the original vault from the nave.[7] In 2011, the church had to be temporarily closed and renovated due to an infestation with dry rot.
