The church is a listed building ( list entry ).
history
In a document, a parish was named in 1132 with the separation from the Altpölla parish.
The initially Romanesque choir tower church was expanded several times with additions. In 1904 a regotization took place.
architecture
Above the pointed arch portal in the plain western front there is a niche with a figure of the church patron and walled-in coats of arms . The mighty nave with a rectangular choir is broken up by two-part, neo-Gothic tracery windows. The two-storey, pilaster-structured tower, which was added to the east in 1678 and renewed after a fire in 1765/67, is crowned by an onion helmet. In the south is a neo-Gothic Herz-Jesu chapel from 1904 with a small, five-sided choir and in the north a baroque chapel with pilaster strips. The one two-storey sacristy goes back to the beginning of the 20th century. On the west side of the church there is an early Gothic tombstone with an incised cross from the first quarter of the 14th century, a tombstone by Siegmund and Elisabeth Hager and a baroque tombstone . The interior of the nave with ribbed vaults on flat wall templates is essentially Romanesque.
Furnishing
The high altar with a new cafeteria bears a baroque crucifix flanked with the figures Ulrich and Ernst.
