The church is a large, late Baroque building facing southeast . It has a high, four-story, front-built west tower. The conclusion is an onion helmet with a lantern.

The church has a recessed polygonal apse . The façade is structured by fascias . A richly profiled main and eaves cornice extends over the tower, nave and choir .

The wide interior has three bays. A square vault is located between the wide belts , which rest on strong pilasters .

The three-axis gallery with curved parapets lies on a groin vault.

The wide triumphal arch separates the apse from the nave. There is a shell vault above the apse, and a square vault above the choir bay.

The interior is 'modern'. In the apse is a crucifix with a baroque body. There is also a baptismal font with a baroque group of figures of St. Anna with Maria . The figures from the 18th century are badly weathered. They were moved from their original location, the gable niche of the cemetery chapel, to their current location. The 'rough' Maria Immakulata was created in the 18th century.
