Building description
The former fortified church is a late Gothic building from the 15th century. Loopholes and vorhangbogige shooting openings of the military upper floor at the nave bear witness to the valor. The nave and choir have tracery windows and are supported by three-tiered buttresses . A baroque chapel is built on the north side of the nave . The essentially Romanesque tower north of the choir collapsed in 1970. The sacristy was erected in its place and a new tower was erected to the north of it. The west and south portal have profiled soffits. The iron plate door of the west portal is provided with a shooting hole.
A ribbed vault with painted keystones on round templates rises above the single-nave, four-bay nave . The west gallery is vaulted under a barrel . A high basket arched triumphal arch with beveled edges connects the nave and the single -bay choir with a five-eighth end and a ribbed vault on consoles.
Frescoes
The choir is decorated with remarkable frescoes from the first half of the 15th century. There is a Last Judgment on the triumphal arch wall . The martyrdom of St. Ursula is depicted on the north wall, saints standing in the upper fields on the north wall of the choir, and Saints George and Martin on horses in the lower fields . On the south wall of the choir, Anthony the Great and an indeterminable scene are depicted.
