    The church is a plastered brick building with a recessed, five-sided east end. The square tower of the building is on the west side. The bell storey and the pointed roof of the church tower date from 1911. The tower was restored in 1992. A barrel-vaulted sacristy extension with a patron's box on the upper floor is located on the north side of the choir.

      After the fire of 1832, the interior of the church was fitted with a flat plaster ceiling. The three-sided gallery stands on iron supports and, like the painting in the altar wall, dates from the time of the reconstruction. The former wooden altarpiece is on the north wall in front of the added royal box. It dates from the first half of the 17th century and shows the Last Supper in the painting and the guards at the empty tomb of Christ in the top. The baptismal font, which dates from the late Romanesque period and is made of sandstone, has a round cupola with a round-arch frieze. The organ front of the church is in baroque forms.[1]
