The nave and choir in the same width and the expansion of Paulmichl in 1932 are under a shared gable roof, and on the east side is a two-storey sacristy extension. The facades have corner squares in the plaster, and the windows (in the chancel, ogival) are framed by plaster cubes. The tower on the north side of the choir has two round-arched sound openings in the bell storey and triple windows above, the gables show blind arcades and step frieze. The pointed arched grooved west portal is probably from the 17th century.
