The eastern part of the church is an impressive choir room with a five-part lunette vault. It is decorated with reddish-brown vine painting and thus resembles a medieval painting. The pulpit is the central point of the choir. Directly in front of it are the predicatory chair and the communion table from the early 18th century. The predicatory chair was made in the type of a box chair. Only a few of these chairs still exist in Westphalia.
Originally, the church also had the function of a fortified church. This is indicated by a still preserved 60 cm high and 29 cm wide embrasure window. There was probably also the possibility of securing the entrance with a beam bolt lock.
In 1973 the roof truss and the bell were destroyed by fire. Thanks to the great support of the population, the church was rebuilt within a year and two new bells were purchased. These now call the congregation three times a day.
