The church is a simple ashlar building with a beautifully profiled late Gothic west portal (the gate with iron fittings), ribbed vaulting, with a 5/8 choir, ribbed vaulted nave of the same width, eight-sided pyramidal helmet and a wooden, open porch with a late Gothic gate. A baroque high altar from 1691 by Sebastian Grunder adorns the interior with the sculptures of St. Nicholas, St. Florian and St. Sebastian. The 3 windows bear late Gothic tracery, the archway of the presbytery is adorned with a coat of arms.
