Architecture and equipment

inside view

The church has a delicate, four-story, front-mounted west tower with a pointed helmet. The ship is mighty, with a fissure structure and buttresses. The choir is closed flat. A two-story sacristy annex adjoins it on the south side. The church interior has two bays with square vaults between double straps that rest on pillars. The wall sections in between are rounded to form niches. The main cornice is all around. A narrow triumphal arch separates the nave from the choir bay, which is just as wide. There is also a square vault above the choir yoke. The high altar was built at the end of the 19th century. The sculpture of a Pietà on the left triumphal arch pillar was made around 1800. The oil paintings and the Stations of the Cross from the first quarter of the 19th century come from the Wenigzell parish church in Styria . The picture “ Assumption of Mary ” was created around 1810, as was the organ with positive.
