The neo-Romanesque church was then built in 1904/1905 according to a design by Quedlinburg building councillor Paul Ochs in the Rhenish late Romanesque style with richly designed facades. The result was a central building made of stone, rising up in the shape of a cross, dominated by a mighty octagonal tower. The church tower is crowned by a pointed helmet. The church roof is covered with slate. The northern arm of the building serves as the altar house and has a five-eighth choir polygon. The western arm is the sacristy and a round stair tower with two side portals. The windows of the church are designed as two- or three-arched windows. Source: Wikipedia
