The church has a simple gabled façade decorated with architectural pilasters and a bell-shaped window and a stone portal with a triangular pediment. The date 1683 on the stone portal is the year of reconstruction of the church; reconstruction that involved an extension and a raising of the original structure and also the addition of an imposing bell tower on four levels to the façade.
