The floor plan of the building is a smooth rectangle. The walls are made of quarry stone, the east wall was plastered, the other walls, as well as the window reveals , were slated. The windows, the door and the frames were made of wood. The ceiling is made of crooked wood, which is hung from the collar beam , as a steeply rising cove . The fillings are made of Wellerwerk . In the rectangular ceiling panels are five wounds of the Lord shown in stucco. The floors are covered with raw limestone slabs.
