The church is a late-gothic hallchurch with three aisles; the south aisle together with the nave lies under one roof. The church floor has been raised, most probably to create more space for graves. Because of that the bases of the pillars have disappeared under the present church floor. ![]() In 1866 the church was shorthened by approximately 20 metres because of the deteriorating condition of that section. Both choirs, located at the eastside, as well as the extension at the northside, have been pulled down. Eight stained-glass windows, which were mounted in the choir, have disappeared.It is known that one of these windows is in a country house on the island of Guernsey. In 1902 the church again was renovated and the walls plastered with Portland cement. A problem for the church was the enormous saline content in the walls. Every plaster coating came off sooner or later. Only the Portland cement appeared to be durable. However a consequence of this was a very gloomy church interior. ![]() The interior of the church | ||
