In the north there is the slightly over-a-corner tower with pointed-arch sound windows and overhead gable windows with a pointed helmet. A two-story sacristy adjoins it to the east. On the north wall of the nave there is a baroque polygonal extension of a chapel. A small vestibule with a curved gable, in front of the western front, bears the figurines Madonna, Florian and Georg. The Gothic west portal from the beginning of the 16th century is grooved four times and shows branches and bars crossed at the top.
The remains of a wall painting from the 16th century on the west wall showed the torture of Stephen and Laurentius and were whitewashed in 1977. On the south wall of the nave by the western yoke is a wall painting from the second quarter of the 14th century, uncovered in 1964/1965, with remains of Christophorus with shoulder, head and Christ child and remains of the crucifixion with Mary and John with two further fields with the Man of Sorrows with the tools of suffering and Michael with the soul scales from the end of the 14th century.
