Late Gothic country church surrounded by a cemetery. The 40.7m high medieval tower with clock gables bears a baroque dome (1751), on top of which is the 2m high gilded tower cross. Adjacent to the tower is the late Gothic nave (ca. 1480) with a high roof and pointed arch windows. The high Gothic choir (ca. 1400) with baroque windows forms the eastern end. The entrance on the west side leads into the church through the simple pointed arch portal of the tower basement. On the south side, the entrance vestibule with groined vault and the sacristy extension stand out like blocks. The walled-in millstone is associated with the legend of the church's foundation.
The one-bay choir with ribbed vaulting is wider than the central nave and slightly off-axis. The late Gothic three-aisled hall is spanned by a rich ribbed vault, the dark vault ribs resting on mighty octagonal pillars. The organ loft protrudes relatively far into the nave due to the extended wooden parapet. The floor has an unusual gradient from front to back. The dimensions of the church are: length 23m, width 11.7m, presbytery 6.5m.
Altars: Late Baroque high altar in black and gold, the high altar painting shows the "Stoning of St. Stephen" by Martin Johann Schmidt from 1792. On the pedestals are "St. Sebastian" on the left and "St. Laurentius" on the right.
The altar of the Virgin Mary on the left bears the altarpiece "Our Lady with St. Catherine and St. Barbara", while the altar of the Holy Helpers on the right bears the altarpiece "14 Holy Helpers in Adoration of the Name of God". Both pictures were created in 1681 by the Garsten painter Johann Georg Staindorffer.
