Exterior construction

The church is made of exposed brick . Only the window reveals and the bell storey of the tower are plastered and whitewashed. The exterior is structured by strong, stepped buttresses . A pointed arch portal is integrated into the Gothic vestibule on the south side . The windows were originally designed with ogival arches, but were rounded off in the course of the Baroque style. In the northern corner of the choir rises the largely undivided bell tower crowned by a pointed helmet.

inner space

The interior is divided into pillars on which the lancet caps of the barrel vault rest. The four-axle nave opens on the east side - mediated by a choir arch - into the retracted choir with a three-eighth end .
