The building is in neo-Gothic style and features a rectangular choir apse. There is a beautiful rose window on the choir wall. The ceiling is artistically and richly decorated with ornaments designed in a green tendril pattern with fruits and flowers, symbolizing creation. A highlight is the Rococo Madonna, restored in 1999, which now stands on a sandstone stele in front of the left front wall, in front of the choir. In 1998, the church was expanded with the addition of a choir extension and a new sacristy.
According to historical maps, this round and two storey fortified tower with a pointed stone cone shaped roof was to the south-east of the old defences. The former eastward section of the wall led, across the later Neuweg, towards the Uffhubtor. The tower dates from the first half of the 15th century. This style of tower is most frequent in Ober-Ingelheim. In the 19th century they were often transformed to condominiums.
