It is a three-aisled brick hall church with a three-sided closed choir and a built-in west tower on a square plan. The tower still has its original 17th century appearance. The church mainly looks neo-Gothic. The church furniture was completely renovated in the 1950s and 1960s.

The oldest part of the church dates from the 16th century. The church was built on the site of the Bethlehem parish in the 13th century. For a long time the church consisted of only a central aisle and a north aisle. At some point a chapel nave was added on the south side. The church was destroyed at the end of the 15th century during the religious disputes and was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century. In 1847 the church was enlarged on the south side with a third aisle. A bay was added on the west side so that the tower was built into the church. A new west facade was also created. From 1870 to 1874 the church was enlarged on the choir side. In 1879, the appearance of the church was changed in a neo-Gothic sense.
