Church building
- Church exterior
A high tower is presented to the side of the mighty nave with a retracted choir and narrow, low aisle . The facade is designed and accentuated with a central round window and symmetrically arranged, small rectangular windows. In the portal area you can see mosaic pictures by Hermann Bauch .
- Church interior
The wide room has a wooden ceiling, underneath a high ribbon of windows. In the flat-roofed choir there is an altar niche with a baroque crucifix from the middle of the 17th century from the former castle chapel. The niche is framed by Franz Deed's cycle of stained glass windows. The stained glass in the baptistery depicts the baptism of Christ and, like the rose window above the main portal, is the work of the painter Georg Pevetz . The concrete glass wall in the aisle was designed by Max Heilmann .
Furnishing
The furnishings of the church include an early baroque miraculous image (a copy of Cranach's Grape Madonna) and an organ by Josef Ullmann from 1887 that was transferred here from Gänserndorf.
