During construction in the 19th century, stone walls from the time of the Teutonic Order were partly reused. The new church is rectangular, without a tower. Inside, a flat ceiling rests on wooden columns. A Classicist altar. The organ dates from 1864.
A wooden bell tower stood separately on a late-18th-century half-timbered base (in the photo above). The church had two bells.
After the Second World War the church was intact. It was used as a warehouse, for which the door in the west annex was widened and a window was knocked through on the south side, later crudely bricked up. By 1988 the church was fairly well preserved, with a new asbestos-cement roof and glazed round-arched windows. Later, until 1994, the church housed a school gym. Then the building was again turned into a warehouse.
The east wall is particularly interesting: the medieval masonry is very clearly visible on it. The bell tower has not survived. In 2010 the church was handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church.
