The building was erected in the middle of the 13th century. The nave, chancel and sacristy consist largely of fieldstone. The choir of the two-aisled church has moved in, the sacristy is in the north. Mighty supporting pillars were subsequently added to the chancel. During the renovation from 1860 to 1867, the east gables were renewed with remains of the original structure. The arrangement and shape of the windows has been changed several times. The older Romanesque, pointed-arched slit windows are set deep into the walls with brick surrounds. The simple ship portal in the north was added, that in the south is more elaborate. In the south vestibule, which is probably still medieval, is the priest's door, with tiered robes and inserted round rods and capitals. The richly profiled west portal has shifted to the south from the axis, it was partially overlapped when the tower was added. Instead of the originally intended vaulting of the nave, a star vault was drawn in around 1500 to three bays. It rests on two octagonal pillars with round corner bars and on consoles on the walls. The triumphal arch between the chancel and the nave is a low arch. The ribbed vault in the choir was originally dome-shaped. The dome vault in the sacristy is decorated with paintings from the time of construction, such as ornaments and symbols of Christ. The window paintings were executed from 1863 to 1864. On the north side there are symbols of the believer soul, on the opposite side there are symbols of Christ. The windows in the chancel show the apostles Peter and Paul.
