The church marks the transition from the Romanesque architectural style to the Gothic. The central nave, and in particular the clerestory, shows unmistakable Romanesque shapes. The clerestory contains large round windows. The windows in the side aisles are designed in the shapes of the Romanesque style, combined with details that show style characteristics of the Maasland Gothic. On either side, the eastern bays of the aisles are raised to pseudo-transepts. The chancel was added in the 14th century and is at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the nave.
