Building description

inside view
The gallery

The church is essentially a Romanesque building with Gothic and Baroque changes. The late Gothic tower on the south side of the nave with ogival sound windows and an eight-sided pointed helmet dates from the 15th century. The roof of the tower is covered with stone slabs, the roof of the nave with larch shingles. The baroque porch is connected to the cemetery wall in the west and opened to the side in flat-arched arcades. The wooden coffered ceiling made around 1570 with painted flat carvings from the nave was installed in the arbor. You enter the church through the Gothic, profiled west portal. To the right of this is a sacrificial niche with a pointed arch in the wall, to the left is a wooden sacrificial table. The nave was provided with a two-bay barrel vault with stitch caps in the 17th century . A round arched triumphal arch connects the nave with the choir. The choir yoke and the sacristy on the tower ground floor have groin vaults .

Facility

The high altar

The pulpit and the three baroque altars were built around 1660/1670. The high altar from 1668 consists of an aedicula above a high plinth, side pedestals with figures and a round-arched frame and a detached segment gable with a small attachment. The column shafts are decorated with vines. The central figure of St. Martin is supported by the statues of St. Apollonia on the right and St. Ursula flanked on the left. The left side altar consists of an aedicula above a base, a split segment gable with a small attachment and cartilage- decorated side ears. The altar bears the figure of St. New Year's Eve with a bull's head as an attribute on the main floor and the figure of a saint in priestly robe with a club on the top. The right side altar from 1673 with the figure of St. Oswald and a holy bishop in the top is similar in structure and decoration to the left. The pulpit has no sound cover; the fields of the basket are painted with floral motifs.
