The church is a small building with a long nave and a semicircular apse . In the east there is a tower with a pyramid helmet . Above the western part of the nave, built in 1767, is a barrel vault with stitch caps . In 1869 the building was expanded to include two square vaulted bays and the apse. On the north side of the choir is the small old sacristy, in the south a younger two-storey sacristy extension with a square vaulted oratory on the first floor.
Furnishing
The high altar was built in 1869 in neo-baroque forms. Figures of the holy kings Stephan and Emmerich stand between two pairs of columns . The altarpiece shows Saint Catherine. The side altar is a simple Rococo altar from around 1770. The tabernacle was created in 1869, the image of the erection of the cross around 1900.
The pulpit was created around 1770 - seated figures of the four evangelists are depicted on the basket, possibly a work by Nikolaus Minich . The sound cover is decorated with a trumpet angel from 1870.
