In 1820, the church was renovated and its interior fixtures and fittings were replaced. In 1856, the original wood shingle roof cladding was replaced with roof tiles.

Description

The wattle-and-daub church, designed in the Baroque style, stands on foundations made of stone. The building was designed on a Latin cross floor plan. The end sections of both the chancel and the transept arms - containing the sacristy and the porch respectively - are semi-hexagonal in shape, with additional first-floor galleries positioned directly above the sacristy and the porch. The tower, built on a square floor plan and featuring a porch in its ground floor section, adjoins the church to the west. The interior features a flat ceiling. The interior fittings are mostly Late Baroque items, with the main, architectural altarpiece bearing the date “1820”. The Mannerist gallery parapets with the portrayals of Biblical women (St Mary, St Elisabeth, Esther, Judith and the Samaritan Woman) predate the current church, having been executed somewhere around the year 1595 and reclaimed during the demolition of the previous building.

In the burial ground near the church there is a free-standing wooden bell tower - a post-and-beam structure erected in 1837.

Limited access to the historic building.
