The chancel was vaulted in the 16th century and the churchyard was surrounded by a defensive wall with a gate tower and battlement. The altar and baptismal font were also created during this time. During the Thirty Years' War, almost the entire village was destroyed, apart from the fortified church, which was only damaged. The village and the church were rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century. The interior was modeled on the mother church in Mupperg. The gallery is missing painting. A mural depicts the parable of the four fields.

A predecessor chapel is said to have existed in the 11th century, which acquired its present form through extensions in the 15th/16th century.
