Although the place was first mentioned in documents in 1244, the inhabitants did not have their own religious building for many centuries. At the beginning of the 20th century there was an economic boom, as a result of which a church was built for the first time.[1] Under the direction of the Stettin architect Rudolf Sack, craftsmen built a small hall building. The shape of its church tower is reminiscent of a lighthouse. The plaster was renewed in 1993. At the turn of the year 2002/2003, a 40 m2 photovoltaic system went into operation on the gable roof, which the parish had previously installed. It has an output of up to 4.8 kWp. In 2016, algae grew on the facade, which required renovation.

The church is built of brickwork (wall thickness: nave 50 cm, tower 62.5 cm) as a simple, single-aisled hall church (roof pitch approx. 45°), with a recessed wooden beam ceiling and barrel-vaulted choir. A photovoltaic system was installed on the south side of the roof (2002-2004). The church tower, with its octagonal tower cap, resembles a lighthouse with a viewing gallery.
