The church has existed for hundreds of years, with many ancient and modern features.

The highlight of the church is the sloping tiled roof on both sides with three bell towers: a main bell tower at the front of the building and two auxiliary towers at the back. The main tower consists of 5 parts, divided mainly by moldings, large and solid columns. The top of the tower is octagonal, pointed, with a 3m high bronze cross. There are 5 large bells in the tower.

On both sides of the sub-towers are light towers, with many ventilation holes and patterns creating a solid and airy look. The main hall is located below the bell tower, with 4 columns, surrounded by many round pillars. The two corridors have arched roofs, covered with fish-scale tiles, and circular windows decorated with flowers, leaves and delicate angel statues.

Inside the building is a rather imposing basilica with two rows of Gothic columns, leading to the main altar. Together with the facade, these two rows of columns are considered the most beautiful features of the architectural works. The left row of columns has statues of female saints, the right row has statues of male saints.
