Building description
The church with an unadorned facade has a stone slab roof and is crowned by a wooden roof turret. On the north side is the sacristy equipped with stitch caps . The flat-roofed, Romanesque nave was later extended to the west and the windows were changed in Baroque style. A retracted triumphal arch connects the nave and the late Gothic choir with a five-eighth end . The groin vault in the choir is decorated with tendril paintings from the beginning of the 17th century. A fragment of a wall painting from the middle of the 13th century with a scene from the life of St. Gertrudis has been preserved on the north wall of the nave .

The tabernacle altar has carved figures of Saints Gertrudis, Barbara and Katharina as well as a small crucifixion group from the 18th century. The round plastic high relief of St. Gertrudis was created in the 1520s. The simple, box-shaped pulpit dates from the last quarter of the 17th century.
