The architecture of the church is relatively simple. The presbytery is vaulted with a barrel vault. The ship is illuminated by three high-rise windows with slotted cut-outs. The church was originally entered through a side portal in the north wall of the nave. The nave of the church is vaulted with a flat slab ceiling.
In 1658 the church was damaged by fire, but at the end of the 17th century it was repaired. He received a new altar, which is still preserved, and the outer facades of the church were decorated with paintings with plant and figural motifs and corner squares. The wooden grandstand, which was originally at the west end of the ship, has not been restored.
Since 1796, the church has been the official pilgrimage church. It has to do with a spring located a few meters from the church. The church was rebuilt for the needs of pilgrims. The original portal on the north side of the nave was bricked up and replaced by a new entrance on the west wall, and the roof was extended, creating an open vestibule above the new entrance, which was supported by wooden pillars. Five supporting pillars were added to the southern side of the nave and apse, and later also on the corners of the western façade.
In 1970, the church received a new roof, the original shingles were replaced by a sheet metal roof with an open vestibule supported by metal columns. At the same time, roofs were added to the supporting pillars of the church.
