Building description
The late Gothic church, which is surrounded by a cemetery wall , was expanded in the Baroque era . The church tower with baroque sound windows and a helmet stands on the north side of the nave. The west facade with portal roof has a large figural niche in the gable field. In the 17th century the church was extended by a yoke to the west and the side aisles were widened. The chapel extension on the northern sloping wall and the extension on the south side, which serves as a sacristy , date from the Baroque period . With the exception of the cross-vaulted western yoke, the nave is vaulted with a barrel, some of which have stitch caps . A high, pointed triumphal arch connects the nave with the single- bay choir with a five-eighth end and simple tracery windows from the 15th century. Here a ribbed vault rises above delicate polygonal wall services .
