The simple, towerless hall building is constructed of neatly stacked fieldstone and has a straight east end with a group of three windows. The gable features a recessed triple blind, and the chancel windows are decorated with plaster moldings and red stained-glass arched crosses. The entrance portal is projecting, while the portals of the lay and priest's doors on the south side have been bricked up. A freestanding wooden bell cage houses two steel bells from the Bochum Association Foundry dating from 1878. The interior features a flat wooden beam ceiling and simple wooden furnishings, including an altar table, pulpit, pews, and a Hinkel harmonium in the chancel and another in the west gallery. Memorial plaques for the victims of the world wars hang on the walls.
