The early Gothic choir square has been drawn in and at the same time forms the ground floor of the tower. The upper floor is baroque and has arched sound windows . Above is a pyramid roof . The roof is from the beginning of the 19th century. On the east side of the church tower there is a newer sacristy extension and on the north side a Gothic chapel from the 14th century.

The nave is vaulted . The church ceiling rests on flat pillars. A narrow, but powerfully built triumphal arch separates the square choir with ribbed vaults from the nave. The ribbed vault in the choir rests on 3/4 columns in the corners of the room. On the north side, the so-called Holy Sepulcher Chapel connects to the tower ground floor. The Gothic chapel is vaulted with ribs. The stained glass windows were created at the end of the 19th century.
Furnishing
The high altar is a simple baroque structure. The altar panel shows St. Lawrence . The picture was painted in the first half of the 19th century. The side altars were built at the end of the 18th century. the altar panel on the right side altar shows Saint Anthony of Padua , the altarpiece on the left side altar shows Saint Catherine of Siena . Both altar leaves date from the first half of the 19th century. The classicist pulpit was built around 1800. The picture of the Fourteen Holy Helpers was painted in the first half of the 19th century, the Stations of the Cross in the second half. The baroque font was created in 1725.
organ
The organ with eight registers was manufactured by the Viennese organ builder Franz Ullmann and inaugurated in 1840. It was a gift from Emperor Franz I and his initials “FI” have therefore been immortalized on the late classicist prospectus . In 1966 an electric fan was built into the organ, which had been preserved in its original form.
