The church was built on the foundations of an old church destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, and in 1731 it gained its current, restored shape. Inside, it hides a historic Baroque altar from 1777 and a unique votive model of a four-masted ship from 1910, suspended from the ceiling – a symbol of the proximity to the Szczecin Lagoon and the village's fishing traditions.

In the baroque timber-framed tower hangs a unique bell cast in bronze in 1833. Interestingly, it was not created far away in Germany, but was cast in Stetina (modern-day Szczecin) by a famous bell founder named Voß.

The main body of the church was built as a solid red brick building, but the clock tower with a bell that crowns it is a classic, light timber-framed construction (fachwerk), reminiscent of traditional Prussian masonry.
