Building description
The house of God is a simple hall church from the 17th century with a Romanesque - Gothic core. The tower from 1694 on the northeast corner of the nave has arched sound windows and is crowned by an onion helmet. Painted pilasters structure the church facade. There is a late Gothic fresco on the south wall of the vestibule.
The nave is a wide, barrel-vaulted hall, which is divided by cornices above the basket-arched windows. On the west gallery from the 18th century there is an organ built in 2005 with 20 registers. A wide, chamfered triumphal arch connects the nave and a lower, narrower choir with a smooth polygon. An umbrella-like ridge vault rises above the choir.
