The interior features a simple and airy atmosphere, with a plain wall behind the altar and a large baroque polychromed relief of Christ as the dominant feature.
The interior is adorned with various works of art by the Bučovice-based woodcarver Josef Staňka.

The largest bell, Saint Cyril, weighs 220 kg, the middle bell, Saint Sylvie, weighs 150 kg, and the smallest bell, Saint Methodius, weighs 100 kg.
The church is owned by the Pustkovecká farnost and has undergone significant changes in its history. In 2007, it became a parish church. The church's unique feature is the cross on the cross, which has arms pointing upwards, a feature not typically found in Christianity.
