Building description
The church is a medium-sized, late Baroque building from the late 18th century, which still contains late Gothic masonry in the choir . The church consists of a single-nave, three-bay nave and a recessed, square choir with a three-eighth end. The tower on the north side of the choir is crowned by an onion helmet. To the east of the tower is a low sacristy . The facade of the church is structured by strong pilasters , cranked cornices and narrow, high windows with cloverleaf arches. The west portal and the south side portal also have cloverleaf arches. The three-axis west facade is crowned by a volute gable.
Inside, a square vault with belt arches rests on pilasters encased in pilasters with expansive warrior capitals . A two-storey, slightly swinging gallery is set up in the western nave yoke. On the lower gallery parapet there are two gilded bas-reliefs and figures of the Christian virtues of the former pulpit . The organ is marked 1818 by a chronogram . On the north wall of the choir there is a sacrament niche and the late Gothic sacristy door. Above is the walled-in, late-Gothic tower entrance.
The wall paintings were created by Christoph Brandstätter in 1829 . The decapitation of St. Margaret can be seen in the middle of the choir, and scenes from the lives of the saints can be seen in the gusset medallions. The finding of the cross and the apparition of the cross of Emperor Constantine are depicted in the nave vaults . The mural on the north choir wall dates from the late 15th century and shows the Descent from the Cross with Saints Margaret and Barbara . The Assumption of Mary above it was made around 1600.
