architecture
Exterior construction
The current tower was built after the old tower collapsed in 1672. The reconstruction dragged on until 1684. The tower, which rises in the northern corner of the choir, has a square base and an octagonal structure covered with an onion dome.
inner space
The single nave nave is flat-roofed and closes in the west with a double gallery . A curved choir arch opens in the east to the drawn-in, three-sided closed choir . The walls are divided into high arched windows, over which stitch caps have been cut, and flat double pilasters , the capitals of which are decorated with volutes and acanthus leaves. They stand out from the white walls with their gray-blue, gold-contrasting color scheme.
Stucco and ceiling painting
The stucco decor was made around 1766 and is attributed to Johann Michael Hoiß. The coat of arms of Sigismund Christoph von Schrattenbach , Archbishop of Salzburg, is placed in a shell-work cartouche above the choir arch . His name is mentioned in an inscription above the coat of arms. The Latin inscription under the coat of arms (QVI IN LOCO ISTO ORAVERIS RECORDERIS MEI - Who you pray in this place, remember me) contains a chronogram with the year 1766.
The nave fresco was created by Joseph Christ in 1766. The central theme is the veneration of Mary by the four continents. On the side the parents of Mary are shown, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim , and the parents of John the Baptist , Saint Zacharias and Saint Elizabeth .
The grisailles in the choir are also by Joseph Christ. The ceiling fresco of the choir depicts the Coronation of Mary. It was created in 1893 by August Müller-Warth.
