The baroque hall church with a polygonal choir and a square church tower in the west was built from rubble stone. The tower received its current high octagonal roof in 1871, at that time still decorated with four corner turrets, which were removed when it was re-roofed in 1972. Ernst zu Stolberg donated two bells in 1698, the small one was melted down for armaments purposes in the First World War, the large one was returned damaged from Hamburg after the Second World War and was recast in Apolda in its original form. The ground floor of the tower has a groin vault.
The wide nave is covered with a compressed wooden barrel vault, in the choir it is shaped as a half-dome. The three-sided wooden galleries have parapets with balusters. In the west, the gallery is two-storey, the upper one, on which the organ stands, is arched. The organ with 17 registers, distributed over two manuals and a pedal, was built in 1875 by Friedrich Ladegast and restored in 1985 by Norbert Sperschneider, Gerhard Kirchner's successor. Ernst zu Stolberg's wife, Christiane Elisabeth von Gladebeck, donated the baroque pulpit altar in 1705/1706. Under the pulpit is a painting of the Last Supper from 1707. A medallion from 1681 with a floating Christ crowns the pulpit.
