The neo-Gothic hall church was built between 1847 and 1850 after the city fire of 1844, using the remains of its Gothic predecessor from 1508. Its nave, covered with a gable roof and whose walls are supported by buttresses, has a three-sided choir on the east side, with the choir flanking tower on the north wall. Opposite it on the south side is a stair tower. The top floor of the choir flanking tower houses the clock tower and the belfry. Of the three church bells, one dates from 1845, the other two were cast by Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling in 1957. The interior, covered by a coffered ceiling, has two-story galleries. The altar and pulpit, with their sounding board on the chancel arch, were rebuilt in 1908. The current organ, with 36 stops, a coupler manual, main organ, swell organ, and a pedal, was built in 1975 by Emil Hammer Orgelbau.
