The exact location of this church has not been passed down. In the early 17th century the chapel had to be demolished due to its poor state of repair. New early 17th-century church In the early 17th century a new timber-framed church was built under the direction of the district magistrate (Amtsmann), Carl Dietrich. A clock tower was only built after the church had been finished, around 1624, but it stood slightly apart from the main church building. Due to subsidence of the foundations and rotting of the ground timbers this had become unsound by the middle of the 18th century. A survey carried out in 1745 recommended a new building, so the planned renovation measures were abandoned and a new church was planned. Present church building of 1754 In 1753 agreement was reached between the pastor, the church warden and the patron over the necessity for a new church. In parallel, a new clock tower was also to be built, but not separately as it had been hitherto, but integrated into the church building. In order to secure funding for the new church, petitions were lodged with various authorities and requests made from interested parties. The royal chamber was asked for oak wood, an application was made to the state church for permission to raise a collection and the farm owners in the parish were asked to commit funds and labour. By the end of January 1754 funding for the new church was ensured, so that the more important construction work was completed by December 1754 and the church could be consecrated. In 1897 building work took place to extend the nave from its original 19.3 metres to the present 27 metres. In 1932 and 1954 further major renovation work was carried out. Interior Combined pulpit and altar The pulpit dates to the 17th century and was already in use in the second Sülze church. As part of the new church in 1754 it was combined with a new altarwall and turned into a so-called Kanzelaltar or combined
