The church is named after Saint St. Gallus.

It consists of a nave, a recessed choir closed on three sides in the south and a church tower with a square floor plan, an original choir tower, at the southwest corner of the nave. The church tower was extended with an octagonal storey to accommodate the tower clock and the bell cage, and covered with an onion dome.
