History
editThe church dates back to the later 12th century. It is built of stone with whitewashed facades. Just south of the church stands a bell tower from 1735. In 1838, the church underwent a thorough rebuilding and extension with a new choir area to the east and new sacristy east of the choir. In 1960 the interior was restored. In 1989 a major renovation was conducted. [3] [4]
