In 1719 there was a local chaplaincy. A chapel was consecrated in 1730 after an extension. In 1736 Bürs was detached and the church was elevated to a parish church. In 1781 the choir was expanded. In 1837 the cemetery was enlarged. In 1890 the nave was extended. In 1903 the tower was raised. There were restorations in 1956, 1967 and 1975. In 2016/17, an extensive, over 1 million euros total renovation took place.

architecture

The baroque church building has a nave with a retracted choir under a shared gable roof and a north tower. The church - outside without plastic structure - has arched windows and two flat arched windows in the gable front. The arched portal with a stone frame shows the date 1890. The portal vestibule shows 1912 and has two niches with the figures of Moses and Abraham. The north tower by the chancel has an octagonal bell house with two arched sound openings placed one above the other and an onion dome . To the north of the choir is a two-storey sacristy extension .

The four-bay nave has lancet vaults on pillars. A deep gallery is built into the extension from 1890. The round arched choir arch on wall pillars has been drawn in. The retracted one-bay choir with a three-eighth closure has a stitch cap vault on wall pillars.

The frescoes were painted by Anton Marte in 1907. They show Christ and two angels in the choir, the Rosary Madonna in cherubs in the nave based on a template by Melchior Paul von Deschwanden , the coronation of Mary with angels playing music in the nave and Moses on the underside of the gallery. The mural on the left choir wall with the Adoration of the Magi is also from Anton Marte (1907).

The glass paintings from the 19th century show Paul on the left and Peter on the right, in the nave on the left Markus and Lukas and on the right Johannes and Matthew.

Furnishing

Josef Vonier (1779) built the high altar with a four-column structure on a curved floor plan with a volute extension. The high altar bears the niche figure Josef from the 19th century in the middle and the side figures left bishop and right Ulrich (around 1740). The tabernacle with a stand cross was created by Josef Klemens Witwer (around 1779).

The Walcker company built the organ in 1960 as Opus 4029.
