history
The first church building on this site was built around the year 1200, the earliest documented mention comes from the year 1207. Instead of this Romanesque building, a new building was erected in 1414, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1690, including the bell tower, and restored in its current form in 1694. In another earthquake in 1848, the spire broke off.
Building
The former fortified church is essentially Gothic and was changed in the Baroque period . The clapboard building has a low, recessed choir . The massive vestibule tower on the west side had a baroque domed roof before the earthquake in 1848 , which was then replaced by a simple pressed lantern helmet. In addition to arched sound windows, there are loopholes on the tower that remind of the building's former defensive character. In the choir and on the south side there are rectangular windows in baroque style. The western pointed arch portal has a Gothic profile. The Gothic south portal has a profiled pointed arch.
The three-bay nave has a groin vault resting on pillars and was designed in the Baroque style at the end of the 17th century. At the same time, the wooden west gallery, which protrudes far into the room, was built. Wooden strips in a diamond pattern are attached to the lower ceiling. Behind a round-arched triumphal arch is the 1-bay choir with a 5/8 end and lancet vault . The uncovered date 1414 can be seen on the nave side of the triumphal arch.
The windows with slug panes and stained glass were renewed in 1914 and 1987, respectively, as the foundation inscriptions show.
