Building description
The small, originally Gothic building with a gable roof and half hip was converted to Baroque style and extended to the west. A pointed pyramid crowns the mighty tower on the south wall of the choir. The church is entered through the pointed arch portal in the south. The nave has a flat ceiling. The original dimensions of the nave can be read from the jagged frieze painting on the long walls. A pointed triumphal arch connects the nave with the two-bay choir. The choir with a five-eighth end comes from the second half of the 15th century. It is supported by two-tier buttresses . Its ribbed vault rests on high-quality head consoles. The painted keystones show stonemasons and the Lamb of God . There are painted ornamental circles on the choir walls.

The baroque high altar was built in 1656. It consists of an aedicule over a small base with side console figures in front of wide, lateral ears and a high aedicule with scale pilasters , volutes and cartilage as an attachment. The column shafts are decorated with vines. The central niche contains the statue of St. George .

The top picture shows Maria as a child with her parents Anna and Joachim .
