The octagonal interior of the church, covered by a cupola and featuring a circular balcony is truly an impressive sight. The building was restored in 2006 houses a permanent exhibition as well as a variety of cultural programs.

The church built based on the plans of Jakab Neumayer stonemason has a rectangular layout; it is 29,5 x 21,8 meters, the main ledge rises 10,5 meters above the level of the surrounding yard. The mass of the church consists of one rectangular body crowned by a roof with steep angles and hipped at either side.

The church bears the stylistic elements of late Historicism, its layout features many different separate areas. Its inner space gives a sense of unity and the huge hall is ornamented with simple Gothic style motifs. The lengthwise foundation ends in an octagon of which six sides enclose the apsis.
