history
Construction of the former Carthusian Church began around 1373 and was completed before 1380 and consecrated in 1392. In 1782/1784 the monastery church became a parish church. A tower was added to the north of the choir for the parish church in 1795. From 1967 the church was restored.
architecture
- Church exterior
The long and narrow, uniform, north-facing church building has a five-eighth end in the width of the nave and adjoins a steep rock face to the west. The church has slender two-part, pointed-arched tracery windows with square arches and circles with quatrefoils, in the narrow south gable wall a three-part tracery window with tilted square arches with quatrefoils and a central pointed keel arch.
- Church interior
The extremely long, stretched, narrow and highly proportioned hall space without indentation between the nave and the choir has four bays in the nave and a choir bay with a five-eighth end. The nave bays have cross-ribbed vaults on doubly hollowed services on lobed drains, pear ribs on leaf consoles and three sculptured keystones depicting a phoenix, a pelican with a boy, a lion with a boy (physiologos).
Furnishing
The original significant group of six altars was largely transferred to the Herzogenburg Abbey , including the remarkable altar by Jörg Breu the Elder from 1501.
Friedrich Obmann created the high altar as a free-standing shrine altar in 1911 based on a design by Dagobert Peche .
