Only the Romanesque church tower remains from the previous building. In 1713, it was given an eight-sided, slate-covered top, which houses the tower clock and the belfry. The clock faces are on four sides, the sound arcades on all eight sides. The tower is covered with a bell-shaped hood on which a lantern sits. The largest church bell had to be handed over during the First World War because it was not considered to have any artistic value. The other two were left in the church. Before the bell could be lowered on a rope, the north side of the tower had to be broken open. The organ was spared from the delivery of organ pipes.[1] The nave was demolished in 1969 and a new one built in 1971.

The small half-timbered church was built in 1772/73 on the site of a medieval chapel and modified in the 1970s. https://youtu.be/x2sZa3Y-xIQ

The church in Kestrich stands, surrounded by streets, like on a traffic island.
