architecture

The ribbed vaulted church building has a single-nave three-bay nave with a slightly retracted two-bay choir with a five-eighth end . The triaxial west gallery is arched with net ribs. Outside the church shows stepped buttresses. The south tower with a rib vaulted bell house was converted into an octagon at the top and has an onion helmet. The sacristy is vaulted with net ribs. The south and east portals are keel-arched in Gothic style, the east door has Gothic fittings.

The church stands on a sliding slope, its tower is considered a leaning tower with a current inclination of almost 1 meter to the west. After a year of measuring the movement of the ground and structure, the slope was stabilized with inclined anchors and the foundations with up to 14 m long bored piles into the ground. This work took place from 1988–1991.

Furnishing

The high altar and the side altars are from the middle of the 18th century. The high altar sheet was painted by Kaspar Jehle (1862). The pulpit is from the end of the 17th century. There are wooden statues of St. Michael and St. Florian around 1670. There is a bell from 1719.

A relatively large organ was inaugurated in 1996.
