The church has three naves and a north transept. In the east the three naves are just closing and the choir does not protrude beyond the aisles. In the middle of the east end there is a large flamboyant tracery window from 1516, the stained glass of which shows twelve scenes of the Passion of Christ . The three ships are located under a shared towing roof. Access is via a porch in the south. The western parts of the nave were redesigned in the 18th century. A bell tower resembling a roof turret is located above the west gable. The ossuary in the cemetery was built in the 17th century.
