The church building has a rectangular plan, a square apse, a gable roof, and a tower on the western side. The medieval walls were also used in the construction but its present appearance is defined by the Late Baroque building period and Romanesque Revival remodeling. The tower protrudes from the plane of the western façade and has a semicircular arched portal on the ground floor with tracery in the tympanum. There is a rose window above the portal and then a small semicircular arched window decorating the western façade of the steeple. There are semicircular arched windows with mullions and tracery at the belfry level of the tower, and similar windows adorn the northern and southern façades of the nave as well. The tower is crowned with an octagonal spire over the clock cornice. The interior space has surbased sail vaulting divided into a narrower western and a broader eastern section by transverse arches springing from the pillars. The gilded stucco decoration in the middle of the vaults depict ecclesiastical symbols (eight pointed stars, grapevines). There are galleries constructed in the western and the eastern ends of the church space. The pews are in the Neo-Classical Late Baroque style. The organ was built in 1830, and the pulpit, altar table, and the baptismal font were made in 1910. Read less
