The church and its extensions have a thatched roof with a patchwork pattern. A tower with a square pyramid-shaped helmet with pins rises above the western part. In 1964-65 the church underwent a major restoration. The interior was renovated and modified, among other things, the pews of the church were removed and new ones were installed.
