The building has a rela­tive simple ground-plan, the rectangular nave is joined by a sanctuary with polygonal end. Massive buttresses were built at the each corner of the build­ing. The most significant later intervention can be observed on the windows: they were transformed entirely. The ceiling of the church is flat, but the in­terior keeps its medieval structure, being divided by the triumphal arch.

According to an inscription, the crown of the pulpit was made in 1763 by Zsigmond of Csomaközy, and it was changed in 1841, during the restoration work Biserica reformată din Ciumeşti A csomaközi református templom The Calvinist church of Ciumeşti 29
