The nave and the choir from the end of the 15th century were built in the late Gothic style with triangular pilaster strips, gable roofs and a cornice. The corner buttresses in the west were polygonally closed over the cornice with three-pass blinds and gable roofs. The walls have pointed arch windows and a painted late Gothic tracery frieze above them. The fourth nave yoke was widened on both sides in 1736. The late Gothic pointed arched west portal has a garment with a round and pear stick and shows a stonemason's mark. The four-storey tower on the south side of the choir shows an original and partly supplemented square painting and has two-lane sound windows with grooved walls and tracery and pointed arched windows in the gables and a high gable-pointed helmet.
