history
The building history of the church is not entirely clear. The late Gothic building that preceded the church was probably built around 1518. Only the sacristy attached to the south of the choir has survived . Probably in the 17th / 18th In the 19th century, the nave and choir were rebuilt or rebuilt in Baroque style . In 1856 the church was redesigned again. The side chapels and the bell tower were added . A lightning strike in 1951 caused a fire in the roof structure. Much of the equipment could be saved. The church was then restored. Another major restoration was carried out from 1976 onwards.

The church building is about 20 meters long and 8 meters wide and has a gable roof . In the east it ends in a three-eighths ending . In front of it is a bell tower in the west , which has a square floor plan with a side length of about 3 meters up to just above the roof ridge .

The altars date from around 1893. The tabernacle of the high altar, which stands at the end of the choir, has a high tabernacle top bordered by columns. On both sides of it are figures of Saints Ulrich and Stephanus in niches . They are wood carvings from the early 16th century, the original painting of which has been removed.
