history
In 1113 the consecration of a chapel was recorded. The parish, which had existed for a long time, was first mentioned in a document in 1233. In 1331 a document named a parish church of St. Georg and in 1352 a document a parish church St. Peter and Paul. For the church, consecrated in 1475, fires were named for 1447, 1550 and 1552. The church became the deanery church in 1602, whereby the seat of the deanery temporarily changed to Flaurling . An extension was consecrated in 1666.
Today's monumental, double-towered, neo-Romanesque church was built between 1860 and 1863 by the architect Johann Eiter according to the plans of the road and bridge builder Leopold von Claricini-Dornpach and was not consecrated until 1886. The western neo-Romanesque Petersturm and the eastern still baroque Paulsturm were built in 1901 by the builder Alfons Mayr according to plans by the architect Leopold Heiss from 1898.
architecture
The three-aisled cruciform basilica with a semicircular closing choir has two facade towers with coupled sound windows with three-pass-shaped blind arches and pointed gable helmets. The side aisles have transept arms with triangular gables. The transept arms are continued with sacristy additions of the same design. The outer walls were structured by fields with rounded arch friezes. The portals and windows are arched with columns set on the sides. The southern main facade with the towers has a rosette, a triangular gable with a round arch frieze and a statue of the Good Shepherd and shows a Nazarene lunette fresco with the apparition of the risen at the Sea of Galilee by the painter Johann Kärle (1902).
Inside the church, bundle pillars and round columns with neo-Romanesque capitals alternate. The nave, the crossing and the choir bay have a cross vault, the transept arms barrel vaults. The main apse and side altar niches are vaulted with a semi-dome. The nave has arched windows in the side aisles and arcades. There is a circular window in each of the transepts. In the choir there are arched triplet windows on both sides to the sacristies.
In 1962, the architect Josef Lackner whitewashed the wall and vault painting with light white for a light-filled church interior. The organ choir was moved to the chancel. In the main entrance a square baptistery was set up in the middle between the entrance doors on the left and right with glass windows and concrete crosses. The people's altar stood in the middle of the transept with seating on the left and right and seating in the central nave of the nave. With the paradoxical claim “ A future for the past” the interior of the church was renewed in 1981.
Furnishing
The high altar crucifix from the beginning of the 19th century was transferred here from the St. Moritzen Calvary. The right side altar bears a former processional figure of St. Sebastian by the sculptor Urban Klieber from the end of the 18th century. The station pictures from 1730/1740 are from the workshop of Michael Ignaz Mildorfer. At Christmas time, a wooden crib by Josef Anton Puellacher from the end of the 18th century is set up. A bell was cast by Johann Paul Schellener in 1740.
Much of the interior and wall paintings were made by the German sculptor Helmut Lutz . The crucifix with the figure of Jesus in the choir and the integration of old figures into new sculptures on the side are special.
