architecture
The elongated church building closes with a round apse and has three single-stepped buttresses on each of the long sides . The four-storey tower in front of the right-hand side of the gable facade has an eight-sided stone pyramid helmet with a docking balustrade and shows the inscriptions Renovated 1823 and 1937.
