Church facade. In the center, a cushioned door in earthy tones, garnished by a green, wavy cover, flanked by piled pilasters and topped by fragments of pediment and angels. In the center, a medallion between rock stones crowned by a crown. Above, on each side, a choir window, with frame, corrugated lintel and overlay and phytomorphic decoration at the top and bottom. At the lateral ends, between Corinthian pilasters, basements of the towers with an arrow in the center. Continuous, articulated entablature, curved in the center, bypassing the circular oculus. Pediment in curves and counter-curves; cross at the apex and pinnacles on the sides. Faceted towers, compartmentalized by pilasters and between them, full arch bells; articulated entablature with pinnacles at angles. Bulb arrows topped by spheres and crosses. Author's signature in the lower right corner in green ink: "Hans Nöbauer".
