The profiled, baroque west portal with a straight lintel is supported by a small closed porch.
The nave with a wooden west gallery has a flat roof. A narrow, round-arched choir arch connects the nave with the square choir on the tower ground floor. A ribbed vault from the first half of the 14th century with figural consoles and a keystone rises above the choir . The northern corbel portal forms the entrance to the barrel-vaulted sacristy.
