It is given harmonious dimensions: 40m long (including 13,40m for the choir), 19,20m wide and 13,40m high for the vault of the central nave.
Inside, numerous paintings on canvas adorn the walls and pillars of the building.
But the surprise of this church is its organ, built in 1874 by the Merklin workshops.
