A church in Gehren was first mentioned in 1592. But today's church is a building from the 18th century. The lower part of its eastern pediment consists of parts of a medieval fieldstone church, while the pediment consists of more modern half-timbering with brick infill. The striking, elongated spire is covered with wooden shingles. The interior is of baroque origin.

Once a year, a Low German service takes place here, where both the songs and the sermon "uff flat" are recited.

The baroque stone church was rebuilt on a larger scale in the 18th century, as was the half-timbered tower.

Today's church is a "new building" from the 18th century, probably built on the foundations and with the building materials of a previous medieval church. The east gable and tower tower with bell house are half-timbered. A small entrance porch with a display gable was added on the south side in the 19th century.
Once a year there is a service in the Low German language in this beautiful church, with all texts and songs, even the sermon, being held in this dialect.
