The four-aisled nave has an elevated central nave as a two-aisled, four-and-a-half-bay vaulted hall with cross-ribbed vaults on both sides. The choir with a three-eighths closure has a lancet barrel vault. The choir windows were designed by Josef Raukamp (1944–1947). The west tower built into the church has an onion helmet from 1807.
Outside there are five Roman relief stones from parts of a grave monument with Hercules strangling the snakes, a portrait relief and three whole relief figures.
The statues Immaculata and Johann von Nepomuk from the first third of the 18th century stand by the cemetery.

The late baroque high altar is made from a tabernacle altar and shows the altarpiece of the Assumption by the painter Franz Anton Maulbertsch (1771). The two paintings Christmas and Andreas in front of the triumphal arch are from the distant inner side altars and were painted by the painter Franz Xaver Wagenschön around 1770/1780. The altarpieces Barbara and Florian on the side altars in the side aisles are from the end of the 17th century. The pulpit is neo-Gothic.
There are grave monuments, Hans von Traun with a relief figure from 1500, Otto and Herzelaut von Traun with a Renaissance relief from 1572, an ornamental gravestone for Andreas Ciera from 1694.
