Description

The church has a cross-shaped landmark. The three-legged ship is closed on the north-east side by a narrowed priest choir and a recycled semi-circular absis; On the south-west side, the ship is preceded by a massive tower with an entrance hall on either side.
The tower and the absis are separate from the ship. The tower is considered a massive body, which can move relative to the ship and the portals, but can not be confused so that a large brick vault could still be fitted. The foundation of the tower is a reinforced concrete frame.
