West gable with round-arched door in a wood frame with a crowning cross, the year 1640 painted higher up. North and south facades rhythmic by buttresses between which arched windows with diamond-shaped iron rod division. Against the choir 17th-century pieta in a classicist niche with a painted Marian monogram at the bottom.
