Interesting hall church without a tower.
Interesting hall church without a tower.
The oldest, Romanesque, part is the base of the tower and the two westernmost bays. This part was built around 1200. A few decades later, the building was extended in Romanesque Gothic style, with a recessed semicircular apse being built on the east side. The beautiful brickwork was hidden for years by a layer of plaster. Halfway through the 20th century, the church was restored, with the brickwork being made visible again. (Source: [1] )
