Attractions
The place is famous for its small late Gothic , St. Andreas parish church, which, according to the founding legend, was built on the basis of a host miracle. The hall church from the 15th century has three slender naves, the middle one being decorated with longitudinally drawn net ribs, while the aisles have cross rib vaults. In the late Gothic choir there is the famous stone and filigree tracery , eight meter high sacrament house (late 15th century). Inside there are figures of saints and above a man of Sorrows , the work is also equipped with three remarkable late Gothic iron doors. The image of the high altar shows the crucifixion of Christ with the Holy Blood angels. Also noteworthy are the splendid late Gothic glass windows on the south side, on which various scenes of saints and coat of arms medallions are depicted.
The original chapel, mentioned in a document in 1411, is located south of the parish church. This small rectangular building with a semicircular apse in the south has a rounded roof with roof turrets to the south as well as arched door and window openings. A glass shrine from the mid-18th century, framed by volute pilasters, can be seen in the flat-roofed interior .
