The baroque wall pillar church was built between 1706 and 1708. It consists of a five bay nave, a semicircular choir apse on the east side, and a two-story sacristy on the south wall of the choir. The choir flanking tower with a Welscher dome on the north wall of the choir was only added between 1775 and 1779. The bell frames with four bells and the tower clock are built into its upper floors, which are divided by pilasters.

The interior is spanned by a barrel vault, which was decorated with neo-baroque ceiling paintings in 1921. The high altar, erected in 1783, features a depiction of Saint Martin of Tours flanked by sculptures of the archangels Michael and Raphael.
