The simple plastered building is crowned with a high, eight-sided roof turret. The nave and the sacristy annex are rounded off. To the west, in the entrance area, which is projected like a risalit , hangs an inscription plaque. The window frame with iron anchors comes from the abandoned Stockum Castle and is marked 1771. A simple flat ceiling was installed in the interior. A ridge vault rests over consoles in the choir .
