The church was built in Gothic style in the 15th century. The walls of the hall and the choir are supported by stepped buttresses, typical of Gothic architecture. According to a graphic representation from the mid-19th century, the church had a wooden bell tower on the west facade, later replaced by the current brick tower. The religious building was not fortified, like those of neighboring towns.
Before the Reformation, the church was painted inside, with different scenes, representing legends, characters or biblical themes, of which only fragments are preserved, because with the penetration of the ideas of the religious reform, the Lutheran community Saxon or Hungarian Calvinist covered with mortar the frescoes with which the interior of the place of worship was decorated, in their desire for sobriety and austerity.
The carved stone pulpit dates from the 14th century. Its crowning was carried out in 1796 and repainted in 1932. In 1718, the vault of the nave was abandoned in favor of a coffered ceiling. From the same year 1718 also dates the choir, intended for men who participated in religious services, built in wood and painted with floral motifs.
