Church building
The apse adjoins the single-nave hall church with retracted choir at the 3/8 end. The baroque west tower, which was raised in 1853 and renovated in 1870, is crowned by a pyramid roof. The two late Romanesque windows with decorative painting in the south front were restored from 1977 to 1978. The west portal with a late Gothic arc lintel and an old door leads into the tower hall.
The three- bay, square-vaulted nave is structured by belt arches resting on pilasters . The stucco decor inside is simple. The vaulted three-axis gallery on the west side is provided with a curved parapet. A narrow triumphal arch separates the nave from the barrel-vaulted choir. There are stitch caps in the apse .

The pulpit is decorated with oil paintings of the four evangelists. A figure of St. Michael from around 1750 is on the cover plate. It was restored in 1963.
In the sacristy there is a sacrament niche with a reused Gothic iron door. The parament cabinet dates from 1761 or 1762.
