history
A parish was accepted before 1200 and was mentioned in a document in 1264/1265. Rudolf von Habsburg's patronage rights were incorporated into the Schottenstift in 1280 .
The original church was probably built after 1550 on the church square east of today's church and destroyed in 1645. In 1668 the nave was rebuilt, which was dilapidated in 1688 and suffered a fire in 1702. The choir and tower were built from 1702 to 1706. 1982/1983 was an exterior restoration.
architecture
The simple nave under a high pitched roof has buttresses and arched windows. The west front as a gable facade has an edging, an ear portal with a blown gable with the figure of St. Florian in the gable from the beginning of the 18th century. The lower choir is flanked by an oratory annex to the south and an annex to the sacristy to the north. The four-storey tower with partially walled arched windows, with corner plaster squaring, has a bell storey with beveled corners and a surrounding balustrade, the tower has an onion helmet from 1760, renovated in 1932.
Furnishing
The high altar from 1718 is a columned retable with sacrificial portals, the altarpiece Maria Immaculata is from the first half of the 18th century, the excerpt shows St. Georg, crowned by a group of figures from God the Father in angelic glory, the side figures are white-framed console figures Benedict and Florian, and in the entablature area the figures Sebastian and Rochus.
