A wood-clad brick building on a high plinth of dressed boulders. The heavy tower was also clad in wood. The interior had painted walls, a narrow altar room and side galleries (emporas).
The pulpit and baptismal font were of wood. The organ was built by the Königsberg organ-building firm of Bruno Goebel (Bruno Goebel Orgelbau). The church had two bells.
There was no fighting in this area during the Second World War. The church survived completely and stood unused until the end of the 1950s.
The collective farm set up here was feeble, and people scattered. Following that, in 1961, the collective farm was abolished as having no prospects. The church, like almost all the houses in the village, was taken apart for bricks. Only the plinth and the foundation remained. Across the road a memorial to those who fell in the First World War has survived, but it too was damaged: the plaque with the inscription was knocked off it.
By 1990 only one house remained of the settlement, with the initials F.K.1934. on its boulder plinth.
