She wore the same name and was built in 1812. For the construction of the Church churchwardens were forced to put up their homes, but even after that the building was more than modest – only ornaments of the Church was a picture of the Apostle Paul, as well as a portrait of the founder of Lutheranism, Martin Luther.
