The choir and the nave are almost the same height. The polygonal choir was built around 1400. It has moved in a little and moved off axis to the north. It is structured by simple buttresses and three narrow, ogival windows with tracery . The east window is walled up. There is a continuous coffee cornice above the windows. A five-sided stair tower adjoins the choir on the south side and the sacristy annex on the north side .
The nave dates from the fourth quarter of the 15th century. The buttresses on the north facade are single, those on the south side are stepped twice. The tops are placed over a corner and have small gables. To the south, two large, wide tracery windows break through the facade. At the southwest corner is a stair tower. A high ridge turret with rich pinnacles and crab decorations made of sheet iron rises above the merging of the choir and nave . The sacristy was regotified at the end of the 19th century. Below is a crypt room with a cantilever arch portal and medieval barrel vault. The south portal has a reinforced frame and a keel-arched crown from the end of the 15th century. The crabs and the finial date from 1884. In the west facade is an original late Gothic funnel portal. In the tympanum , a rose and two coats of arms are depicted. Maybe these are Marian symbols. The inscription contains the year 1409 , which could indicate an older consecration date. On the west side is a gable facade with balcony, rose window and statue of the Virgin Mary from the end of the 19th century.

Above the three-bay long nave is a ribbed vault , which is stored on service bundles over a clover-leaf floor plan. In the corners of the triumphal arch there are consoles with plastic coats of arms (rose and lion). The gallery is three-axis and rests on a cross vault . The cross ribs are made of terracotta . On the straight gallery parapet is the inscription: “Inchoat. ante 1400; Amplat. 1409; Intus renovat (deform.) 1666; Reconstruct. 1882; Orant. consummatum 1899. “A gallery in the stair tower leads to the gallery. This has two late Gothic portals: the lower one has a cantilever arch, the upper one a reinforced frame. The triumphal arch is high and ogival and shifted to the north in the church axis. Above the two-bay choir and the apse with a 3/8 end is ribbed vaulting that rests on consoles. It was withdrawn at the end of the 19th century after the baroque vault was demolished. Before that, there was a flat wooden beam ceiling at this point. In the southern Chorjochwand there is a late Gothic door with a rectangular lintel above a row of shields. This leads to the stair tower. The wall between the stair tower and the choir is broken through by a small tracery window. On the northern choir wall, six steps lead to the late Gothic sacristy portal. On the north wall of the choir there is a sacrament house with an iron door. The originals are in the Diocesan Museum Eisenstadt . The article was supplemented in the course of regotisation. The sacrament niche is framed in plastic.
