In 1697 the chapel was enlarged and in 1722 today's nave with gallery was built. The nave, choir and sacristy are under a common gable roof. The octagonal bell tower with an onion dome stands over the sacristy. In 1989 a comprehensive renovation was necessary. In 2013 and 2014 the church roof was re-covered with Austrian lark shingles.
The high altar with a structure with two twisted columns and rich acanthus decoration and high tabernacle with doors to the sacristy around 1697 bears an altar figure of Mary and Child from around 1700 and under the tabernacle a relief of Christ and the twelve apostles from the beginning of the 16th century.
