The retracted choir without a yoke has a 5/8 apse. The four-storey west tower with round-arched sound windows is vaulted on the ground floor and shows the coat of arms of the Wittelsbacher Ferdinand , Archbishop and Elector of Cologne, provost of Berchtesgaden, dated 1644 on the second floor . The double onion helmet was put on in 1738. The three-storey sacristy is attached to the north of the nave. On the western front south of the tower there is a segment arch-shaped niche with a pent roof with a baroque mount of olives and a wrought-iron grille from the first half of the 17th century.
