The church is a large, flat-roofed, rectangular-shaped structure built on a sloping base with a 45-meter-high western tower, the width of a ship. It was built in the mid- to late-13th century. Seriously damaged during the Thirty Years' War, it was later rebuilt. The tall tower, with its hood, lantern, and weathervane with an angel and the "GLORIA" banner, was built between 1732 and 1735 at the initiative of the church's patron, Carl Friedrich von Sydow Jr., and installed and restored during the renovation in color, as agreed. Previously, the walls inside the nave were reinforced to accommodate the additional load. In the late 17th century, a southern porch with a staircase to the patron's lodge was added. All window openings were replaced with arched ones, and the original pointed-arch portals and windows were partially bricked up. During the GDR era, the hereditary burial site on the tower's northern wall was demolished. In the 1960s, the entrance and passage to the patronal lodge were closed, and the southern section of the gallery was shortened. The parish also commissioned a complete cleanup of the right and left choir areas. The pulpit extended from the altar, slightly raised on the north wall. Carved reliefs from the now-defunct pulpit from 1695 were attached to the pulpit. The church was listed as a historic monument in 1984, but renovations were not carried out until 1998–2001.
