The long sides are gabled and provided with the coat of arms and initials of the founder. The interior, which is equipped with two-story circumferential galleries, is closed off by a hollow vault integrated into the roof structure, the pulpit altar is attached to the front sides in Protestant tradition , with the epitaphs of the donor couple to the side.
