The church has one nave, it also has a sacristan and citadel with a roof in an onion-like shape. Its facade is articulated with allette. Inside is the main altar in the baroque style from the second half of the eighteenth century with a picture of Saint Katherine. Paintings inside are by Jozef Hanulla. After 1970, a new liturgical device was made. The old pulpit was removed as well as some of aisle small altars.

The church is adorned with several sculptures, for example Saint Karol Boromejský and Saint Jan Nepomucky on the main altar, and a sculpture of the Virgin Mary on the aisle altar. Under the church there is a crypt, which has an entrance under the choir. It was opened around the year 1850. Beside work on new pavage this entrance was built up.

In front of church entrance there is a stone monument, as a memorial to the people who fell in World War II; their names are engraved on it. To the right of church there is a grave under lime, where former chaplain is buried. He acted in the village when cholera was spreading. From the year 2006 new Chapel of Virgin Mary of Lurdia is standing next to the church.
