Building description
The former fortified church only has fortifications on the nave and the tower. The five-storey tower in the southern corner of the choir has ogival sound openings and a pointed pyramid helmet , which, like the roof of the nave, is covered with Eternit . A bell in the tower was cast by David Polster in 1644. The choir with a polygonal end and two-part windows with original fish-bubble tracery is supported by triple-stepped buttresses . On the west facade there is a cast bay window and keyhole notches . The segmental arched window was modernized. You enter the church through a Gothic segment arch portal with a profiled frame.
In the originally flat-roofed nave, in the 18th / 19th Century built a pointed arch barrel vault with stitch caps . A pointed, bevelled triumphal arch connects the nave with the choir. The masonry of the tower is visible at an angle to the nave. In the three-bay choir with a three-eighth closure, a strongly profiled ribbed vault rests on round services with polygonal capitals . A pointed arched bevelled portal with a late Gothic door covered with ribbons leads to the groin-vaulted sacristy on the tower ground floor. The access to the groin vaulted fortifications is located above the portal. There is also a basket arch-like sacrament niche in the choir .
Facility
The high altar from 1633 consists of an aedicule over a small base and a small attachment in the form of a frame with an ornamental crown. The middle picture shows the saints Wolfgang, Clemens , Antonius Abbas and Maria Magdalena. The top picture of a coronation of Mary is flanked by the figures of Saint Florian and probably Antonius. On the left side altar table is a Maria Magdalena carved around 1525, which shows the influence of Augsburg .
