The slender west tower presented has a simple rectangular portal and console cornices and a bell storey with arched windows and has a pointed helmet. The high nave under a mighty gable roof has high-quality lunette windows. The southern rectangular portal has a straight roof. The semicircular choir is slightly drawn in. In the north, in the transition between the nave and the choir, there is the almost square, single-storey sacristy extension.

The interior of the church shows a three-bay nave under a barrel vault with stitch caps over straps on strong niche-forming wall pillars with cranked beams. The two-part organ loft, vaulted with a groin, stands on Tuscan columns. The slightly raised semi-circular choir with a surrounding cornice and dome has decorative glass windows from 1884. In the north of the choir is the sacristy portal to the groin-vaulted sacristy.
