history
The former fortified church stands on the northern edge of the village and is surrounded on three sides by a ditch and is only accessible from the south. An altar consecration with Bishop Roman I von Gurk (1131–1167) was documented in 1162/1164, and the bishop's seal was found in 1906 when the altar table was demolished. At the end of the 15th century at the time of the Turkish invasions, another mighty tower was added to the Romanesque church building. In the middle of the 16th century, the Romanesque nave was extended with Gothic side aisles and a Gothic choir was added. In 1707 a cemetery was laid out around the church. 1974 was an interior restoration.

The Romanesque church building consisted of a nave with a straight choir closure under a flat ceiling. The west tower with biforallic windows has a gable and a pyramid helmet. An open vestibule is built to the west of the tower. The south side of the tower shows a crucifixion group by the painter Peter Markovič from the beginning of the 20th century. A sacristy has been added to the Gothic choir to the south and to the corner of the nave. The Gothic west portal in the tower is ogival and profiled. The Gothic west portal in the south aisle is round-arched. The choir has Gothic lancet windows. On the west side of the church is a wrought iron grave cross from 1720.
- Church interior
The three-bay central nave is connected to the Gothic side aisles by arched arcades resting on heavy pillars. The central nave has barrel vaults with stitch caps, the side aisles have burr cross vaults. The three-axis west gallery in the tower has a flat ceiling and a curved balustrade. The retracted triumphal arch is ogival. The retracted one-yoke choir with a five-eighth closure carries a ribbed vault on circular services. A Gothic sacrament niche with a grid is built into the choir on the north side. On the south side the choir has a Romanesque sacristy portal with an iron plate-covered door.
Furnishing
The baroque high altar with columns and rich acanthus decorations was built around 1700. The tabernacle is from the second half of the 18th century. In the middle niche of the high altar is a baroque carved group of the Madonna in the protective cloak from the end of the 17th century. The antependium of the former neo-Gothic high altar from 1906 was created by the sculptor Josef Obletter from Val Gardena with the relief of the Last Supper.
The left side altar with an aedicula above a small base with side console figures and columns adorned with vine leaves and cartilage and scrollwork from the end of the 17th century bears the central statue of Michael and to the side Katharina and Barbara and shows a picture of the Trinity in the top. The right side altar, in the same design but without console figures, with columns and acanthus from the end of the 17th century bears the figure of Oswald and shows the image of the Good Shepherd in the top.
Peter Markovič (1915) painted the Stations of the Cross pictures based on the Führich Stations of the Cross .
The organ was built by Josef Grafenauer (1904). Rupert Dringer mentions a bell in 1453. Mathias Landsmann mentions a bell in 1687.
