Under the eaves is a double round arch frieze . The windows are designed as arched windows. At the corners of the nave there are pinnacle-like turrets with pointed gable roofs. The tower, which jumps slightly out of the facade, rises above the entrance facade, a roof turret with a gable-pointed helmet and arched sound windows . There are one and two-story extensions to the north and south of the choir.

Church interior

The nave has three bays with a groin vault. This rests on pillars with pilasters . The discontinued organ gallery from 1923 rests on Tuscan columns . Behind the round-arched triumphal arch is the drawn-in, groin-vaulted choir. In the apse calotte is a frieze with the life of St. Leonhard.
