    The interior is basilica plan with a ceiling panel built during the last restoration of 1989-90 with exposed timber trusses lit by six stained glass windows opening on the side walls and apse.

      The patronage "Maria (or in other spelling: Mariae) Visitation" of this church refers to one of the many commemoration or festival days in honor of the Blessed Mother Mary. The term "visiting" in the Bible - which is negatively tainted in our present-day expression - means Mary's visit to her relative Elizabeth. She is married to Zacharias and the marriage has no children, which was a social flaw at the time. Despite her old age, she still became pregnant, which the Archangel Gabriel told Maria when he brought her the message that she should give birth to the Son of God. The son of Elizabeth and Zechariah is John, nicknamed "the Baptist", who is considered the forerunner / pioneer of Jesus Christ.
