It was built in 1695 to replace the previous parish church. The church is made of quarried stone from limestone built, typical for the area building material. It contains few embellishment elements. Its simple floor plan comprises a single-nave nave , which is closed off by a three-walled apse . This is special because it is the only one in the area with this degree. A small, southern extension houses the sacristy . The west facade ends at the top in a bell gable with a bell opening.
