The chapel has a slightly indented round arch choir on a rectangular floor plan. A steep, clapboard-covered gable roof rises above it, with a tower-like, clapboard-covered roof turret rising above it on the entrance side. This was carried out on a hexagonal floor plan and has round-arched sound holes, a bell roof and an onion dome. The longitudinal walls are pierced by two rectangular windows each, the entrance portal is also rectangular.

The interior is dominated by the wooden altar from the beginning of the 19th century and the wall paintings.

The way of the cross of the chapel dates from the middle of the 19th century and shows engravings from the 19th century.
