About this building

The benches are ocher and painted with black piping. The jugular candlesticks are unique, and decorated with crosses that have been left in the walls.

There are tombstones in the church that date from 1601. The appearance of the church has changed a number of times: in 1683 a roof turret was added to the church, and the current three-sided choir came into being in the 2nd half of the 18th century, as well as the pointed arch windows. A cultural committee manages and operates the church. There are regular lectures and concerts in the church.
