The nave has a core of Romanesque masonry. Under the Gothic choir, supported by two-tier buttresses , is an ossuary with an ossuary supported by a central pillar. Remains of a St. Christopher fresco have been preserved on the southern choir wall . The south tower, which was added later, with arched windows, is crowned by a wood-clapboard onion helmet. The brick porch with arched entrances on three sides and high rectangular openings in between probably dates from the 19th century. A painted cross of the Apostles and the hand of God can be seen on the west wall of the nave . A fragment of a Roman epitaph for a local family is walled into the vestibule. You enter the church through a west portal with a straight lintel and an iron-studded door.
The flat ceiling in the nave is provided with a stucco medallion. The ceiling painting in it from the end of the 18th century shows the crucifixion of Christ. A pointed triumphal arch connects the nave and the ribbed vaulted choir with a five-eighth end . The two windows to the east are from the Gothic period, the others have been given a Baroque style. The southern sacristy has a groin vault. The consecration crosses (apostle crosses ) on the entrance wall were made in the 15th century, those on the south side in the 14th century.
