The present church building by Friedrich-August Stüler from 1864/1866 was pre-dated by several previous structures. In 1658/1663, Electress Louise Henriette ordered the extension of the small church built in 1634 to make it into a prestigious cruciform church. The new design submitted by Stüler in 1857 included a three-nave gallery basilica with seven axes and a semicircular apse. The Italianised west tower and the semicircular apse are typical of many Stüler churches, but not the pillar hall in front of the central portal, which is decorated with a head of Christ after Albert Wolff and small angels’ heads in terracotta.
