The church was built in the Romanesque period as a fieldstone building. It is assumed that it was part of a Franciscan monastery. The short nave has a recessed choir and is closed off by a semicircular apse. The Romanesque round-arch windows from the time of construction are still there. Philipp Melanchthon is said to have carried out a church visitation at the church in 1533, after the introduction of the Reformation. An octagonal wooden roof turret was placed above the west gable in 1872. Its top is covered with slate.

The small carved altar dates from the end of the 15th century and in its shrine a Madonna can be seen on the crescent moon in a halo. The altar has narrow wings. On the right, James the Great is depicted above a saint and on the left John the Baptist. Below John was originally Saint Dorothea, but she was stolen. On the outside of the wings, remnants of the former painting with four figures of saints can still be seen.
