The unarticulated single-nave nave with a sloping rectangular floor plan has an open roof truss. To the west of the nave is a two-story columned gallery and a segmental arch leading to a confessional with a crucifix dating from 1868. The recessed round-arched triumphal arch is flanked by pilasters with molded finials. The indented Gothic choir with a three-sided end has narrow wall jambs and a circumferential molded cornice and a barrel vault with a ceiling painting of the Coronation of the Virgin Mary from the end of the 18th century.
