history
The sacred building was built in the first half of the 13th century when craftsmen built a wide hall in the Romanesque style. At the end of the 15th century, the building was given a flat ceiling that replaced the barrel vault that had existed until then . 1785, the building burned down and was in the following years of the church rebuilt. Craftsmen enlarged the windows, renewed the roof, raised the apse and built the west tower . Then they built a horseshoe gallery , set up a winter church there and exchanged parts of the furnishings. In the years 1908 and 1909 more craftsmen built on the south side of the nave oculi one. The baroque south pore was demolished and church stalls were put up in its place . In 2006 the parish had the organ restored for around 30,000 euros. In 2015, with the help of the villagers, she renewed the floor in the sanctuary for around 11,000 euros, and in 2016 the flooring in the nave . The money was raised, among other things, through donations and benefit concerts . A grave slab embedded in the ground was uncovered, but the inscription can no longer be deciphered.
Building description
The apse was made of regularly hewn and layered field stones, especially in the lower area, and has been round and slightly indented since the 18th century. Of the three segment-arched windows, the middle one is blocked. The reveals are repaired with rock fragments and reddish brick and partly plastered light . The lines run in the upper area; the stones are only partially layered and hewn there. To the west of the apse is the rectangular choir, which is also drawn in. It has two raised, larger and segment-arched windows on each side. The field stones in this area are layered much more carefully and carved into a cuboid. On the right below the two windows on the north wall of the choir, a gate covered with reddish bricks can be seen. The observer also finds the layering of the field stones in the nave with three raised windows. They, too, were enlarged at a later date and re-framed with reddish brick. Striking on the south side are the additional three ox eyes below, the shape of which is emphasized by light colored bezels. They are missing on the north side. There is an epitaph there , the inscription of which is no longer legible in 2017. To the right of it is a gate. The western wall of the nave is made of layered field stones. For structural reasons, the wall was erected at a later date with two powerful buttresses made of rock fragments and reinforced with red brick. The octagonal west tower is clad with black slate . In the lower area there is a sound arcade on each of the three accessible sides . A bell hangs in the lantern ; above it is a tower ball with a cross.
Furnishing
The pulpit altar with side passages was built in 1822 and 1823. It is kept in a light shade, simple and decorated with coffers that are slightly different in color. Above that is a sound cover that takes up the simple design language. There is a strong, round triumphal arch between the choir and the nave . The gallery is held in a light blue shade and also decorated with cassettes. On the west side is an organ by Johann Tobias Turley with a prospectus from 1822. A late medieval sacrament niche is decorated with a grille. According to the Dehio manual, the round fifth probably dates from the Middle Ages. The inside of the structure is flat covered. A memorial commemorates those who died in the First World War . It is supplemented by a memorial for the victims of the Second World War , which is located outside the structure north of the north wall of the nave.
