The church has partly Gothic tracery windows, which have been baroque inside with stucco. The three-axis keel-arched west gallery is vaulted with mesh ribs. The southern chapel was given a baroque vault with stucco in 1763. In front of the south portal is a rib vaulted vestibule. The tower in the southern choir corner with a rib vaulted bell house has beveled corners and was given a high onion helmet with a lantern in 1765.

Furnishing

The neo-baroque altars were created between 1945 and 1951. The pulpit is from the second half of the 17th century. A lecture cross and the wooden group Baptism of Christ from the middle of the 18th century are designed in the manner of Franz Schwanthaler .

In the nave hang two pictures of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, which were transferred here from the abandoned Kilian's Church in Au.
