Building description

A Baroque curved facade gable and a Baroque gable turret were added to the small Gothic building from the first half of the 15th century . You enter the church through a gothic profiled west portal with pinnacles and an iron-studded gothic door.

Inside there is a two- bay ribbed vault with chamfered belt arches on circular services . There are ogival niches on the north wall and two tracery windows on the south wall . The chapel crypt is closed by a relief stone decorated with pretzels, croissants and croissants.

Winged altar

The late Gothic winged altar, built around 1500, was renewed around 1600 on the Sprenge . The shrine contains a carved figure of a Madonna and Child, which was made in the Erhard workshop in Ulm in the 15th century . The painted figures of the fixed wings depict the saints Barbara , Dorothea , Katharina and Margaretha . The relief figures on the inside of the wings represent the saints George , Florian , Wolfgang and Hieronymus , the painted outer panels show the Annunciation , the birth of Christ, the adoration of the kings and the death of Mary . Christ and the 12 apostles are painted on the predella . The group of figures with the lessons of Mary forms the tendril attachment from the 17th century .
