Building description

The small building from the 12th century, which probably served as the chapel of the neighboring castle , was renovated at the beginning of the 16th century. The walls of the nave are from the Romanesque , the polygonal apse from the late Gothic period. On the east wall there is a coat of arms stone marked 1524 with a Keutschacher beet . The renewed, six-sided roof turret is crowned by an onion helmet. On the west side of the church is a Roman period (200) grave stele with portrait bust and Grabepigramm the Erasina and a grave altar with an inscription for Eutyches, financial official of the provincial administration, set up by his wife Claudia Domna, his children Faustina and Romulus and his subordinates immured.

A late Gothic pointed barrel vault with lancet caps and net ridges spans the interior of the four-bay nave . Romanesque herringbone masonry was exposed on the south wall of the nave . A high Romanesque triumphal arch with remains of combat stones connects the nave and the groin-vaulted apse with a five-eighth end .

Facility

The high altar, around 1670, consists of a shrine-like aedicula with a small, predelle-like base and a blown triangular gable as an attachment. The twisted column shafts are decorated with vine tendrils, the base and the framing of the side arches with heavy cartilage . At the altar there is a carved figure of a Pieta , in the side arcades the figures of Judas Thaddäus and the Evangelist John . There is also the crest plate of Andre Jabornegg from 1654 in the church.
