The initial chapel has been preserved as a two-bay choir with a 3/8 end and a delicate ribbed vault on clay consoles with buttresses. The nave with a flat mirror vault was added in 1722. The core of the late Gothic building has been preserved in the south wall of the nave. A massive tower is presented in the west. The bell storeys with pilasters have a spire that was renewed in 1867. To the north, a side chapel and the sacristy were added in 1735. In 1893 a staircase was added to the south and a chapel was expanded.
In the crypt chapel there are tombstones of the Kottulinsky family , dated 1772 and 1801.
Three baroque initia chapels were built around the church. A Marian column with the Kottulinsky coat of arms, created by Veit Königer (1765), stands in front of the church .

The baroque altars from 1764 were removed in 1968. The high altar picture St. Andrew and the figure of Mary with child and the princes of the apostles have been preserved; the high altar was after Wolfsberg i. S. transferred.
