Building description

The originally Romanesque church consists of a nave from the 13th century and a choir from the 14th century supported by three-tiered buttresses . The tracery windows were partially walled up. During the restoration of the church in 1993, a late Gothic frieze was exposed. The tower on the south side of the nave has coupled, Gothic sound windows, some of which have tracery. It is crowned by a pyramid helmet. The oldest bell dates from the 13th century, further bells were cast around 1350 or 1450. In the masonry vestibule there are four Roman times, partly fragmentary grave inscriptions, which, through their written form as well as linguistic inaccuracies, indicate the very superficial Romanisation of the population of remote areas. The name of the Celtic horse goddess Epona appears in a grave inscription . The ogival west portal has a door with Gothic fittings.

Inside the nave was vaulted with a baroque needle cap barrel, the western gallery has a double-headed eagle and a chronogram 1787 on its classicist wooden parapet . A pointed arched triumphal arch connects the nave with the choir. The choir consists of a square yoke with cross-ribbed vaults and a five-eighth closure . In the choir there is a Gothic sacrament niche with a wrought iron rosette grille and a Gothic baptismal font .

On the north wall of the nave, a fresco with the Adoration of the Three Magi and the half-length figures of two saints from the second half of the 14th century has been preserved. The paintings of two saints on the triumphal arch wall date from the same period. The Annunciation to Mary above was made at the beginning of the 15th century. The rural paintings on the right on the triumphal arch wall and on the south wall of the choir with the depictions of Christ on the Mount of Olives as well as poor Lazarus and the rich Prasser are dated around 1600. In the east window of the choir, stained glass with ten apostle figures from the second quarter of the 15th century can be seen.
