The east- facing hall building is kept simple on the outside and is essentially only structured by the round-arched window openings. At the vertex of the slightly retracted chorus , which in three sides of the hexagon is closed, which closes Sakristei on. On the opposite is the protruding west tower , which merges into the octagon above the roof ridge - mediated by a cantilevered cornice . The top is a pointed helmet over four dainty triangular gables . The interior, which is also kept simple for contemporary tastes, has around sixty seats and is vaulted by a spear cap barrel. In the nave there is a ceiling painting in a stucco frame , on which the church patron Michael is shown (memorial day: September 29th). The main picture of the dainty rococo altar shows the church patron Michael fighting against Lucifer . On the chancel arch a Rosary Madonna is attached.
