The single-nave church is built of quarry stone and dates from the 13th century. To the west of the nave is a steeple standing across the nave. It is covered with a gable roof and has acoustic arcades designed as pointed arches. Modifications were carried out in 1505 and in the 19th century. A small extension is added to the south side of the nave.

The interior of the church is covered by a 16th-century wooden ceiling. It is decorated with ornamental stencil painting. In addition, there is a two-sided gallery. The carved Gothic altar was made around 1430. A Madonna is depicted in its raised central part. She is flanked on each side by two female saints arranged one above the other. The only figure preserved in the wings of the altar is that of Jacobus Major.

In 1937 a restoration took place. The carved altar in the wings was carefully supplemented with texts. During the restoration there were also large-scale additions to the ceiling paintings.

The church was built of rubble stones and its core dates back to the first half of the 13th century. The nave has a rectangular plan. A semi-circular apse is attached to the east side. On the west side there is a transverse rectangular church tower. In 1731 both the steeple and the nave were raised and the church as a whole was rebuilt. In the late 19th century the tower was given brick gables. At the same time, an extension was added to the west side of the tower.

The interior of the church is covered by a beamed ceiling. On the west side there is a gallery from the 19th century. The furnishings such as the pulpit, crucifix, organ, colored windows and the baptismal font made of sandstone all date from the end of the 19th century.

In the churchyard north of the church is the elaborately designed family gravesite of the Kretzschmann family, who owned the land, from around 1890 and a war memorial for those who died in World War I.
