Exterior construction

The church, which appears rather squat in its proportions, is a late Gothic staggered hall . At the three-aisled, four yokes comprehensive nave closes to the east one-nave choir with two bays and five-eighth final at. The sacristy is attached to it on the north side . The central nave and the choir of the same width are about three times as wide as the side aisles to the north and south.

In addition, the central nave and the choir are united under a common gable roof , which is interrupted to the side aisles. A roof frieze runs between the two parts of the roof , which runs around the entire building up to the west side and is a typical stylistic feature of the Landshut construction works. Therefore the unknown master builder of the parish church is supposed to be in the tradition of Hans von Burghausen . Furthermore, the exterior is structured by a surrounding plinth, and the choir is also divided by a coffin cornice and triangular struts. The originally pointed arched window openings were changed in the baroque period . Today round-arched windows are used in the choir and basket-arched windows in the nave.

On the west side, in the central axis of the main nave, the six-storey tower is built, which rises above a square floor plan . In the second, fourth and fifth it is divided by pointed arches, which are arranged in groups of three; the third floor is loosened up by pairs of arched panels. The sixth floor contains a bell cage , sound openings and tower clocks . Above that, the tower merges into a shingled pointed spire with crowning corner battlements, the top of which is formed by a tower ball and cross.

An open vestibule is built on the south side of the third nave yoke from the east, the roof of which is directly connected to the pent roof of the south aisle. Here is the only portal . The ogival opening to the outside has a round bar profile on the outside. The interior of the vestibule is spanned by a rib vault on profiled pointed consoles .

inner space

In the choir, in the nave of the nave, in the aisles, in the tower basement and in the southern porch each is a reticulated figuriertes vault . The ribs were chopped off in the sacristy. In the choir, the vault rises from strong, square wall pillars without profiling. The ribs rest on semicircular profile consoles. The arch is structured by pointed arches. In the nave, the vault ribs arise from profiled octagonal brackets with concave sides. Head consoles are located in the four corners of the central nave. In the predominantly plate-shaped keystones are partially Holy reliefs to be seen. In the basement of the tower, the vault rests on simple, beet-shaped pointed consoles and has a small round keystone. The vault ribs have a predominantly pear-shaped profile, in the aisles they are mostly grooved and chamfered.

The nave is dominated by massive round pillars, out of which the sharp dividing arches , bevelled on both sides, grow . The transition to the choir area is mediated by a pointed choir arch, fluted on both sides and with beveled edges.

Furnishing

Little has been preserved from the original furnishings of the church due to the Baroque style. The stately baroque high altar from the 17th century has a structure that is supported by two winding columns and two fluted pilasters . Instead of an altarpiece, there is a life-size figure of the Mother of God , in the right the naked child , in the left holding the scepter , which was carved around 1500 in the late Gothic style . The originally pointed arched window openings were changed in the baroque period . Today round-arched windows are used in the choir and basket-arched windows in the nave.
