Building description
The building is a late Gothic staggered hall church with a slender, late Gothic tower on the south side of the nave, which is crowned by a baroque onion helmet.
The three-aisled, three-bay, staggered hall longhouse was probably built in the late Gothic period through the conversion of an older, single-aisle building and the addition of the aisles. The late Gothic vaults rest on pillars. In the central nave, the pointed barrel vault is provided with stitch caps and decorative mesh ridges, the side aisles are equipped with groin vaults. A wooden singing gallery has moved into the west of the nave. On it are parapet pictures of Christ, Mary and the twelve apostles from the 18th century. In the one-yoke choir with five-eighth closure from the beginning of the 15th century, a groin vault rises on console services , which are decorated with two angel heads. The former sacristy on the north side of the choir was redesigned in the baroque period and opened to the choir and the north aisle. Today's sacristy is an irregular polygonal extension south of the choir, which can be part of a former charnel house . In the tracery and in the nuns' heads of the end of the choir, remains of the original, late Gothic colored glazing have been preserved.
