The western part of the nave constructed in the hall style date from the Gothic period of the 14th century. The tower was added in 1514. It probably also served as a defensive tower for the village.

The nave is covered by a barrel vault and has two-story balconies on three sides which were built in 1664 and 1702. The transept was also built in 1702 to make room for the patron's boxes of Albertina Maria, the wife of Count Ferdinand Maximilian I of Isenburg-Wächtersbach.
