The current church building was built in 1852 after a three-year construction period in half-timbered construction in the neo-Gothic style. The inauguration took place with a celebratory service on September 5, 1852 by the general superintendent Johann Friedrich Möller and pastor Schubart. The outer walls are boarded and clad with slate. There is an apse on the west side of the nave.
