The present, simple three-aisled façade was completed in the late 19th century and incorporates parts of a sculpture by Ivan Vitaljić from the early 18th century. Stone piers divide the interior; the ceiling is flat and decorated with Neoclassical stucco, and a four-storey stone bell tower was built beside the church in 1861.
