architecture
The church stands on the highest point of the place and is surrounded by a defensive wall with a stone slab cover. The high Gothic west tower (72 m) has a baroque tower.
Furnishing
The huge high altar, probably by a Mattighofen master, with cartilage and twisted columns was created around 1661 and shows a painting by Tobias Schinagl (1661).
In 2002, the Kögler Organ Builders (St. Florian) built a new organ with 20 sounding stops on two manuals and a pedal into the existing baroque case (1653).
In the 72 meter high tower there are five bells that sound in the tones cis' e 'fis' gis' h'. They were cast in 1926 (bell 5, St. Florian), 1950 (bell 2, 3 and 4, St. Florian) and 1959 (bell 1, Hamm and Hartner in Grödig).
