The facade is structured with wide wall pillars that extend up to the eaves. The late Gothic tower and the adjoining sacristy are on the west side of the choir.

The baroque west facade has three window axes and a curved gable with the niche figure St. Nicholas from the 19th century. On the west gable is the figure of the risen Christ with angels with the instruments of passion. The arched portal around 1755 under a canopy has pilasters on the side and a stucco cartouche above the Keilstein.
