Angular wall templates have domed ridge vaults, the belts are pointed arches, the windows round arches. The building is unadorned. Two right-angled niches are embedded in the east wall of the two cross arms. In the west wall of the north transverse arm there is a shallow niche in which a holy grave was once housed.
