In 1783 a new church was built of fieldstone. Plastered, without a tower, it measures roughly 32.5 by 14.5 m. A sacristy was added on the east side and porches on the north and south. The windows and doors are set in shallow arches. The interior is very simple. Behind the altar is a sandstone epitaph of the church's founder, Pierre de la Cave. The pulpit and the altar date from 1785, the organ from 1855, the bells from 1760 and 1762.
A brick mausoleum of Pierre de la Cave was built on behind the sacristy.
After the Second World War Didlacken was renamed Telmanovo. As of 1988 the church was intact; its coordinates: 54.578155, 21.756153. It was used as a granary. Both porches and the sacristy were intact. A square door had been knocked through the west wall. Inside, an additional ceiling had been inserted, giving it two floors and an attic.
Part of Pierre de la Cave's epitaph has survived in the altar area. Pierre de la Cave's mausoleum has not survived.
