The lower floors of the square church tower in the west and the old choir supported by buttresses with a 5/8 end in the east, which is covered on the inside with a cross-ribbed vault, date from the late 14th century. In the late 15th century the church tower was raised to five floors and later covered with a slate-covered, eight-sided pointed helmet with watchtowers at the corners. The old nave was replaced in 1932/33 by a new one in the transverse direction with a new, recessed, straight-closing choir in the north. The high altar is neo-baroque and dates from 1933. The side altar, built in 1746 by Johann Michael Doser with the altarpiece by Otto Gebhard, was already in the old church. The pulpit and the Stations of the Cross are also by Doser. The organ with 25 registers on two manuals and pedal was built in 1935 by G. F. Steinmeyer & Co. A restoration was carried out in 2020 by Orgelbau Vleugels
