The pulpit is framed by shell niches and is located on the eastern wall.

A painting showing the council assessor Christian Kehrbach, who died in 1761, is remarkable.

The church was founded as a hospital church in the first half of the 12th century, but was closed again in 1544. The current building was built in 1712 as a cemetery church. It was consecrated in 1730. It was then used as a parish church from 1752. During the Napoleonic occupation, the church was deconsecrated. After the damage had been repaired, the church was re-consecrated and used for church purposes in 1821. Karl Memminger restored the building in 1901/1902. Another repair was carried out in 1971.
The current church building is in a baroque but simple style. The nave has a single nave on a rectangular floor plan and has large pointed arch windows located between pilasters. To the west of the nave there is a two-story porch with a simple facade that serves as the entrance area. Above it is a tower with a square floor plan as well as a hood and lantern. Existing extensions on the east side were changed in 1901/1902.
The interior of the church is covered by a mirrored ceiling with stucco work, which is attributed to the Italian Bernhardo Brentani and was completed in 1718. A fresco in the middle depicts the Last Judgement. Other frescoes are grouped around it, showing the Beatitudes, Christ, Death, and Heaven and Hell. The frescoes were completed by Wilhelm Rössel in 1727.
The Marientor, located a little further north, takes its name from the church.
