The west portal has a pointed roof and shows three-dimensional flower hangings. The portal in the tower porch is ogival and has a triple grooved soffit. There is a sacristy annex to the south.
Church interior
The six-bay nave has five bays under a late Gothic net rib vault on pillars with semicircular services and shows one round and four coat of arms-shaped keystones. The easternmost yoke is baroque under a lancet barrel vault. The gallery is wide over two bays and has ogival arcades, one yoke has a cross vault with originally painted ribs, one yoke has a flat ceiling on two supports.
The triumphal arch is round and has a wide throat in the transition from the nave to the choir. The long barrel-vaulted choir closes off round.
The mural Last Judgment and Coronation of Mary from 1623 was restored in 1977. The neo-baroque stained glass is from the fourth quarter of the 19th century.
Furnishing
The high altar bears a free-standing tabernacle from 1710 on a stone canteen with a vaulted door between twisted columns and angels to the side and a throne with a canopy. The tabernacle was transferred here by the Franciscans in Eisenstadt around 1783 and changed. The altarpiece of St. Georg with angels in a black frame with plait decoration on the apse wall was painted by the Eisenstadt painter Laurenz Lust (1783).
