The simple, neo construction has a nave to two axes having a mirror cover over entrapped profiles haunch . The recessed, re-entrant choir arch has a combat cornice and an ogival, profile-lined end. The uncollected chancel is provided with short, behind the chancel continuing side walls and a three-way circuit with three cap buckle with ribs on consoles. In the nave, the windows are two on both sides, one in the oblique axes and one in the walls. These are framed on the outside and profiled archivolts on the inside on consoles. In the west there is a pointed arched door with wooden tracery in the skylight . There are round peep windows on both sides of the door. A sign is attached in front of the entrance . This has bevelled pointed arch arcades on three sides and a gable roof . The eaves cantilevered and sloped. In the west pediment of the sign is located on a white marble plaque the inscription built (from) Ignatz u. Genovefa / Osterrieder / anno 1864.

Above the new altar there is a print of a Mariahilf picture from the construction time of the chapel. The stalls also come from the construction period and have tail cheeks with volutes at the top and small central rosettes. On the inside of the north wall, made of white marble in a wooden frame, there is a plaque commemorating the builder of the chapel, landowner Joseph Ignatz Osterrieder (1812–1884) and his wife Genovefa (1823–1894). An oil-on-canvas picture of the couple, painted by Johann Fahrenschon , is on the west wall. It is labeled IF px. 1862.
