The St. Stephen's Church is a modern brick building . It is part of a building complex on the ground plan of an irregular pentagon, with an inner courtyard, around which other municipal buildings are grouped (e.g. kindergarten, rectory).

The church itself is designed in the shape of a pentagon, with a cone-like choir closure 23 m high. At the north-west corner there is a stair tower that leads to the organ stage and houses three bells on its upper floor.

The church interior manages without columns or pillars. It is bordered by high, brick-facing walls, the windows are each below the ceiling approach. They are designed as light strips and let subdued light into the church. Adjacent, the room opens up to a low chapel that is used as a weekday church.
