description
The church is a small Romanesque building with a recessed, low round apse and a wooden roof turret with a pointed helmet. The whole building is covered with wooden shingles. On the north wall there is a crucifixion fresco from the 16th century and below that the frescoes of two saints from the 15th century. The frescoes of the Last Supper and St. Christopher are hardly recognizable. One enters the church through the profiled, ogival west portal from the Gothic .
The single-bay nave is equipped with a new wooden flat ceiling. A semicircular triumphal arch connects the nave with the barrel-vaulted apse. The wall paintings above the arched window from around 1250 were uncovered in 1982: Saint Godehard is depicted with a miter holding a book, flanked by two half-figure angels. The wall paintings in the medallions date from the first half of the 18th century: on the north wall the joyful, on the south wall the painful and in the apse the glorious rosary .
