The ceiling of the nave was painted in 1753 by Ferenc Lándor Asztalos. Those nave ceiling is divided into cassettes of slightly unequal size and shape, 10 pcs. length and 6 pcs. for width. All 60 cassettes of the nave ceiling are full of folk motifs and embellished with floral ornamentation, only two of which are repeated, and they alternate like a chessboard, consisting of darker and lighter blue fields.

Its 30 metre high, peaked wooden tower with four young towers can be seen from several kilometers away, It is considered the tallest of the Transcarpathian wooden towers, and its frame structure is completely unique. Its well-proportioned, high, skirted, galleried, wooden bell tower with four buttresses is covered by a needle-pointed helmet. Its dome and the bell tower itself have the same proportions, but from a spatial perspective, the end seems lower. The bottom of this structure is an open frame protected from the rain by a wide belt. The tower simply stands on the ground - it has no foundation, instead, stones are laid around the perimeter with a wooden strap that rests on 16 support columns connected by an advanced bracing system.
