A rectangular building of fieldstones and brick, with a massive tower topped by a small "lantern" turret with a spire. The interior had a flat ceiling. The altar and pulpit were combined. The organ was built in 1783. The church had two bells.
After 1945 the church was intact and was used as a warehouse. In 1950, because the structure had rotted, the cross with its ball collapsed and broke through the roof. Coins and documents were found in the ball (the finds were later lost).
After that the church was not repaired and fell into neglect. In 1960 part of the tower was dismantled, the roof was re-covered with asbestos-cement sheets, and the building was turned into a club.
1989. Two-thirds of the church tower has been dismantled and it is covered with an asbestos-cement roof. Two mighty buttresses have survived. The porch on the north and the sacristy on the east are intact. The church windows, except for the first two, have been bricked up. Near the former church a memorial has survived: a huge boulder with a carved inscription and the dates "1914–1918".
Today the church serves as the local house of culture.
