The porticoed pulpit altar, baptismal font and two partonate boxes also date from this period. These contain two Baroque portraits of particular value: a relief with a bust profile of Count Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel (1676-1749) and a marble bust depicting an unknown, elegantly dressed man. It is one of the church's outstanding works of art. It also has important epitaphs and tombs. The church has a rectangular flat-roofed nave with a three-sided east end. The organ façade was built in late Baroque style in 1800. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church was extended and a new tower was added according to plans by Julius Zeisig. The Jehmlich organ was installed in 1979.
