The church tower with the Welscher dome stands as a choir tower in the east. The choir and nave are flat-roofed. The choir window is round-arched, while the nave windows of the north wall are ox eyes and those of the south wall are rectangular. At the altar there is a crucifix over the representation of faith, hope and love. The nave has an L-shaped gallery along the north and west walls. The organ is on the western part of the gallery. Some of the pews have doors and are labeled with names and dates. On the pulpit from 1720, which is attached to the south wall, you can see figures of the four evangelists .
