"Friesoythe was originally a chapel parish within the parish of Altenoythe with the parish church of St. Vitus. The Gothic chapel probably dates from the end of the 14th century and was expanded and altered several times in the following centuries. In 1619, it became a parish church, and the former chapel became the parish church. From 1885 to 1886, a church tower was built based on a design by Johann Bernhard Hensen. The current church building was constructed from 1908 to 1910 by Heinrich Flügel, with the tower remaining intact.
The neo-Gothic staircase hall was built of red brick. A wide transept gives the interior the impression of a central building. The choir is polygonal with a 7/10 closure, the western bay with a five-eighth closure. The central crossing bay has a star vault, the other bays have cross vaults."
