The spacious upper church with 1500 seats in oak pews was erected as a three-nave pseudobasilica with a polygonally terminated chancel enclosed with the sacristy and utility rooms. The effect of spatiality is enhanced by slender stucco columns connected by arches and by large, semicircular windows, whose multi-colored stained glass decorations, rich in Christological motifs, were installed in 1903. They were made by Königlich Bayerischen Hofglassmalerei, a Munich-based workshop run by Franz Xaver Zettler, with a branch in New York.
