The choir was the inscription above the triumphal arch completed 1476th The nave was built between 1506 and 1521 by Laurenz Rieder, a representative of the "Görzer Bauschule". On the nave side, which is supported by strong, triple-stepped buttresses , two-part lancet windows with original tracery have been preserved. The retracted choir with five- eighth closure and square-clad edges has five simple lancet windows. The three-storey, Gothic tower north of the choir with pointed arched acoustic windows is crowned by a 19th century gable helmet. According to the building inscription, the low sacristy on the south side of the choir was built in 1640. The west facade has a round window. Below is the painted tablet of Lamprecht Zäch. The pointed arched , profiled west portal shows the year 1520 and has a wooden door with late Gothic fittings. The southern side portal has a profiled ogival arch with a door with a lock and door ring from the Gothic style.
In the four-bay , single-nave nave, a star rib vault rests on grooved wall pillars with circular services . The heraldic keystones , the 31 half-length figures in quadrilateral and the four evangelist symbols in the eastern yoke were created in the first quarter of the 16th century. The organ loft in the west yoke stands on a pillar arcade made up of two round arches and a central keel arch. The gallery is arched under by looping ribs, whose free-ending, nose-shaped extensions give the ribs the character of branches . The arcade pillars are occupied by circular services, the capitals of which form the bases of figural niches. The gallery parapet consists of openwork, flamboyant tracery. A pointed, profiled triumphal arch connects the nave and the lower, two-bay choir. In the chancel, a ribbed vault rises above composite, polygonal wall templates that rise from the window sill cornice. The keystones represent the head of Christ, the Lamb of God and coats of arms. The 14 half-figure depictions of saints in the diamond fields date from the last quarter of the 15th century. The mural on the north wall of the choir from the beginning of the 16th century shows the family tree of Christ in the manner of the root of Jesse . On the north wall of the choir is the late Gothic, chamfered access opening to the tower and above it a pointed arched gallery opening with a carved parapet. A round arch portal leads from the south wall of the choir into the sacristy. In the southern choir window, stained glass from the middle of the 14th century with depictions of the Madonna and Anna the third were installed.
