The construction of the school was also completed in the same year. In 1908, an Evangelical church was built here, which now belongs to the Roman Catholic Church.

Later, only some elements of the interior design changed, i.e. the canopy over the main altar was removed and the wooden pulpit located in the presbytery was removed. The interior is in neo-baroque style and presents solutions typical of the construction of evangelical churches (emporia along the nave).

The organ has a pneumatic actuation, 1 float bellows with the possibility of calibration and approximately 700 pipes.
