history
The parish founded in the Middle Ages was abandoned during the Reformation. Between 1956 and 1963, a modern church with a free-standing steeple was built according to the plans of the architect Ladislaus Hruska . The previous church, built in 1776, was demolished.
Furnishing
The interior was taken over from the old church and restored. The baroque high altar has a richly decorated frame and the altarpiece shows the crucifix as the savior of souls . The former pulpit now serves as an ambo. The new pews with old cheeks with plaited ornamentation from 1780 by the carpenter Georg Müller were previously part of the Eisenstadt cathedral . The sculpture Schöne Madonna is by the sculptor J. Wiegele from 1967.
The organ from the end of the 18th century was built by Johannes Beber.
