The narrow and long-proportioned hall building with a three-sided choir closure is covered by a flat wooden barrel. The lintel of the entrance at the west end of the south side dates back to 1691.

The baroque columned altar with many figures of saints was made by Caspar Helfen from Prüm in 1713 according to an inscription on the back .
