The early baroque hall building with a renewed west tower rises from a distance visible on slightly sloping terrain on the northeastern edge of the village. The church and the former cemetery are under monument protection .

history

The presumably Gothic predecessor of today's church was a small chapel , which was first reported as a destination for plague pilgrimages in 1626. The main festival of the small branch church was St. Sebastian's Day on January 20th. At the instigation of Pastor Stöber, the church was expanded in 1674 to incorporate the old wall core. Two side altars were erected and consecrated to Saints Barbara and Catherine . In 1783 Altruppersdorf was raised to a parish.

Exterior

The baroque hall with a slightly drawn-in, just closed choir has a high gable roof . The entrance facade in the northwest with volute gable and crowning triangular gable is structured by pilasters and entablature . The rectangular portal with stone walls has a blown gable and is designated 1674–1933. Statues of Saints Rochus , Rosalia and Sebastian stand in wall niches . There are stepped buttresses and arched windows on the nave . Next to the main facade, south of the nave, is the three-storey tower, which was restored in baroque form after severe war damage. On the eastern nave yoke, the church is extended like a transept to the north and south with a chapel extension over a rectangular floor plan. The chapels have semicircular windows . To the north of the choir is the single- story sacristy . A baroque grave cross from the 18th century with a relief of a deceased person has been preserved at the former cemetery .

Interior

The barrel cap barrel of the four-bay nave rests on pillars with heavily profiled beams. A retracted, round-arched triumphal arch rises underneath and, to the west, on two Tuscan columns, an organ loft with a cross -arched vault . The two-bay choir is covered by a barrel cap with belt arches on pilasters and heavily profiled beams. There are shield arches on the east wall. The east and west side chapels to the nave are open in round arches. They are covered by groin vaults on pilasters.

The side altar, with a neo-baroque frame, statues of the Sacred Heart and Saints Leopold and Aloysia, dates from the second half of the 19th century. The altarpieces of Saints Rochus and Rosalia in the side chapels were also created in the 19th century. The pulpit with a statue of the Man of Sorrows dates from around 1800 .
