description

The core of the hall church is Romanesque . It was later rebuilt many times. The nave and the fed, polygonal closed choir were completed than originally planned in 1515 only in reduced size, as the capstone called. The planned higher room height of the first construction phase can be recognized by the structure of the wall. The yoke of the choir and the polygonal end are separated by two strong pillars . The northern one runs into the vault , the southern one breaks off under the vault. The belt arches and the vault ribsstart suddenly on or next to the pillars. On the south wall of the choir bay is a wide window niche from the first construction phase, which is overlapped by the vaulted caps. The tracery windows in the choir were restored in 1869. There were several repairs to the interior , most recently in 1962–1965. The design was based on the findings.

On the south side there is a vestibule with a fragmented Romanesque portal . The cross rib vault of the late Gothic choir inside is supported by outer buttresses . A square, slate-covered roof turret rises from the roof of the choir , on which an eight-sided pointed helmet with a tower ball sits.

The nave has three-sided galleries and is spanned by a ceiling supported by coves . The pews are decorated with carved cheeks. The three-part altarpiece was created around 1500. The carved shrine shows Mary with the child and two saints. Saints were painted on the inside of the wings. The painting on the outside was lost. On the south side of the triumphal arch that is pulpit grown by 1,672th Jesus Christ , Moses , John the Baptist and the Evangelists are depicted on the narrow fields of the parapet of the basket and the stairs . The organ with 11 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal , was built by Adam Eifert in 1889 .
