On the north side of the church are two walled-in Gothic pointed arches, probably from two former portals. A late Gothic pointed arch portal has been preserved on the south side of the choir. The west portal from 1680 is flanked with pilasters and has a triangular gable. On the north side of the nave, due to the additions, there are high-lying, transversely oval windows. There are high oval windows in the south wall of the nave. The north tower on the polygonal choir is slightly adjusted.

The interior of the four-bay nave is vaulted with a barrel with stitch caps . The walls are structured with pilasters with acantic capitals.
