history
Until 1122 the place belonged to the monastery Sankt Mang in Füssen in the diocese of Augsburg and in 1816 it went to the diocese of Brixen . After the church tower collapsed in 1640, the builder Haselmayr rebuilt the tower in 1653. In 1685/1691 the choir and nave were rebuilt by Paul Torwertel and consecrated in 1714.
architecture
The parish church is located in a walled cemetery with integrated chapels and niches.
The building is uniformly built as a baroque structure with a nave (on the right side of the church) with a steep gable roof and the choir with a low gable roof. The tower with a pointed helmet is in the middle. On the left is the Church of the Dead with a curved gable. The nave and the retracted choir have a rounded end with wall pilasters - pilaster strips as well as arched and circular windows. To the north of the choir is the sacristy with an access corridor along the nave. A central building under a dome was added to the east of the high Gothic- style baroque tower.
The three-bay nave has a double pilaster structure with a base band and pieces of entablature, a circumferential cornice cranked over the double pilasters, and above it a lancet barrel vault. There are circular windows in the stitch caps. The retracted triumphal arch has pillars. The two-bay choir has composite pilasters, a surrounding cornice, a stitch cap barrel vault and a three-eighth closure.
Furnishing
The high altar from 1685 is a heavy six-column structure on a high tabernacle zone with a straight entablature with blown gable pieces and the extension has a structure with six columns with a round gable end.
The ceiling fresco in the choir shows the "handing over of the keys to Petrus" and was created by Johann Jakob Zeiller in 1755. There are four rococo silver relic busts in the sacristy. They represent the apostles Peter and Paul and the two plague patrons Sebastian and Rochus.
The chapel of the dead Ad Beatam Virginem Mariam Dolorosam , which was added to the tower of the parish church in 1732, received a dance of death as part of the furnishings , which the sculptor and plasterer Thomas Seitz from Füssen created between 1724 and 1728. Medallions adorned with tendrils show how death begins the last dance with ten people. The doomed can be recognized by their insignia and attributes. On the left wall are shown: Pope, Moses, wife, landlord, beggar; on the right wall: emperor, lawyer, soldier, cooper, farmer.
Bells
In the bell chamber there are five bells with the tuning on c sharp 1 , e 1 , f sharp 1 , a 1 , b 1 , which were cast in 1951 by Johann Grassmayr in Innsbruck . All bells have a clapper and the hammers are located directly on the bell.
