"On the narrow sides of the church corner buildings are prefixed. The late classical main façade has three portals and is by columns and pilasters rhythm. About the middle, slightly protruding portal rises the bell tower, located in a cube-shaped mezzanine, a sleek bullet with clock tower and an octagonal divided top floor. The side fronts are divided by high, narrow rectangular windows.

"With its striking front tower the Neumünster is inspired by English classicism, particularly of the Church of St. Pancras inLondon and St. Peter's Church in Regent. From Neumünster Zurich in turn are likely Reformed Church Gentiles and theReformed Church Wattwil have been affected, both by Felix Wilhelm Kubly were built a few years after the Neumünster Zurich.

"A coffered ceiling completes the interior. In the stairways to the tower gallery there are two paintings that the Transfiguration on Tabor as well as Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane broach.
