history

The parish church probably already existed in the 11th century. A pastor was mentioned in a document in 1220. The choir was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century. The nave was rebuilt in 1520. In the 17th century the church was baroque. A restoration took place from 1972 to 1976.

architecture

The late Gothic church building in the north of the village with a high Romanesque south tower is surrounded by a cemetery with two chapels and an adjoining widum. A lower, slightly retracted choir adjoins the single nave nave. The tower on the south side of the choir, probably from the 12th century, has coupled arched windows in four storeys. The top floor is set off by a cornice with a serrated frieze and has a pointed gable helmet from 1839. The addition of the Antonius chapel with a polygonal apse and triangular pilaster strips took place around 1676 on the north wall of the nave. The sacristy extension with an oratory is from 1975. The nave has a late Gothic structure with triangular pilaster strips with cantilevers . In the west there are corner buttresses with profiled glare fields, tapered towards the top and beveled, with eyelashes. The surrounding base of the building has a cranked coffin cornice, which was pulled up at right angles at the west portal. In the choir, the triangular pilaster strips were pulled up to the eaves and coffin cornices. A walled-in holy water font on the southwest buttress was marked with 1520 and a stonemason's mark.

The interior of the nave with four bays under a barrel vault with stitch caps on strong wall pillars with cranked beams. Behind the pointed triumphal arch is a recessed, almost square, choir, probably with a Romanesque core, with a 3/8 end with a Gothic vault on consoles and subsequently removed ribs. The stitch cap ridges in the nave and in the choir were emphasized in the 17th century by stucco ribbons and thus given a baroque style. The new one-yoke Antonius chapel, integrated on the north side in the third nave yoke with a three-sided end, has pointed arched lancet caps and stucco ribs and shows 1676 in the vault.

Baroque frescoes on the nave walls were designated 1637. There are niche figures of the apostles Bartholomäus, Simon, Thomas, Judas Thaddäus, Matthäus, Andreas, which show coats of arms in the bases.

Furnishing

The high altar in the late Rococo style from the fourth quarter of the 18th century bears early Baroque statues of Peter, Paul and Madonna by the sculptor Adam Payr around 1660/70. The side altars show pictures by the painter Franz Lazier around 1720/25, on the left side altar the altar picture of St. Michael and in the upper picture the holy family, on the right side altar the altar picture of St. Francis Xavier and in the upper picture St. Ignatius. The baroque statues of St. Elisabeth and Anna, Aloysius and Stanislaus, on the side altars, created the workshop of Andreas Kölle. The crucifix in the choir was created by Adam Payr in the second half of the 17th century. The pulpit around 1730 bears a crucifix by Andreas Kölle . The guardian angel group created the workshop of Andreas Kölle around 1725. The people's altar is decorated with a baroque antependium relief.
