Description+
Of the cruciform basilica made of fieldstones planned in the second half of the 13th century, only the transept, the nave and the recessed choir were executed. The originally intended side aisles are recognizable as walled arcades in the west wall of the transept. The buttresses on the outer walls indicate a vault planned at that time, which was only installed in 1887. After a fire, the church was rebuilt according to a design by Ludwig Dihm in 1887–90 and extended in the Neo-Gothic architectural style with bricks, which includes the oversized Neo-Gothic structured, square church tower covered with a wreath of battlements to the west of the crossing. The church, which burned out in the Second World War, was simplified and restored in 1951–56. The sacristy was converted into a vestibule after the altar was moved to the west side. The organ was built in 1953 by Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau.
