The chancel and nave from the late Romanesque period were built in brick on a profiled plinth with pilaster strips on the corners.

Originally there was also an apse which was torn down but later replaced during the restoration work in 1861 by the Hamburg architect Ernst Heinrich Glüer.

The Early Gothic crucifix on the north wall of the nave, c. 175 cm high, is from the late 13th century.

The fresco on the west segment, depicting a lively scene of the Supper at Emmaus, was in good enough condition to be preserved.

Christ sits with two distinguished gentlemen at a finely set table with bread and a spotted leg of venison.
