The small neo-Gothic quarry stone hall with a polygonal choir closes on three sides . The previous building, consecrated in 1633, was expanded to include the eastern part in 1879 by Arnold Güldenpfennig . The nave was replaced with three bays in 1900 . The walls in the vaulted interior are structured by lead glass windows from the company Joseph Osterrath.
