The choir has a small round apse, the east-facing pointed arch window is walled up, the lateral pointed arch windows were built in later by breaking open the walls. On the north side of the church, the sacristy, which is essentially medieval, is located under the same roof as the nave. The nave has arched windows. The western extension of the nave for a music gallery is bent at an angle and has rectangular windows. The protruding west tower has arched sound windows and an onion helmet.
