The whole building is built of natural oak beams. Near the church there is also a bell tower. It has a two-level layout in the form of a rectangle and a framework structure.

The walls and the central arch of the temple are painted by the masters of the Galician school of painting. This work dates back to the second half of the 17th century. The church has been restored many times, therefore it preserved its almost original appearance until our times.
