The church is built on a parabolic floorplan, with a separate bell tower. It features a pentaptychon by Helga Hein-Guardian, and a pipe organ built by Klais[1] in 1970, with 27 stops on two manuals and pedal.[3]
A garden behind the church, Bibelgarten, features plants mentioned in the Bible, with explanations.[4]
