A chapel had probably already stood on this site in the 14th century, which was later expanded into a small church. According to an old church report, which dates back to the time when this church was demolished, it was only a small church, 13 meters long and 6 meters wide, with room for around 180 people. By the end of the 18th century, however, the congregation already had 500 members, meaning that the church was already far too small at that time.

However, it was not until 1857 that the old church was demolished and work on the new building began on May 4, 1857. The shell was completed in August 1858 and the church was consecrated on August 28, 1859. Most of the church's furnishings were donated by the congregation at the time of construction and later again on the 50th anniversary, including the four stained glass windows, the chandelier, the crucifix, the baptismal font and the altar bible. Some items were also taken from the previous church, such as the brass candlesticks of the altar from 1670 and a pewter candlestick from 1745. The "Old Communion Chalice" is from 1645, another chalice dates from 1801. The bronze bell of the tower from 1464 had to be given up during the First World War, but the church received two steel bells as a replacement in 1922, which are still rung today.

The damage to the church roof and windows from the Second World War was repaired as early as 1948. At that time, the church was also enlarged by converting the former sacristy into a chancel. During the renovation in 1968, the galleries were removed, the floor was renewed and new pews were installed. The church also received a new altar and a new pulpit made of Elms sandstone. The windows in the apse were replaced with stained glass windows and the church clock from 1888 was given an electric drive. Five years later, the organ was also replaced.
