Summary
The exterior has exposed stonework with reinforced masonry corners. It is covered by a tiled gable roof. Indentations suggest five glazed bowls were once inserted in a cross-shaped pattern at the top of the west wall. There is a single entrance in the centre of the west wall; it has an arched niche in the exterior wall above the lintel. A modern window has been inserted in the centre of the south wall.
The interior is covered by a pointed barrel vault with two transverse arches. Nave and sanctuary are separated by a modern wooden iconostasis.
