The church has richly structured buttresses, wall services and window reveals. The west gallery is two-story. The west tower was converted into an octagon at the top and ended with a double onion helmet. The star rib vaulted tower hall from the middle of the 16th century has a late Gothic gate. In the south of the nave there is a two-bay chapel extension with a flat hanging dome with rich rococo decorations from the mid-18th century in the style of Johann Caspar Molder.
