history
The place was incorporated into Melk Abbey even before 1232. The tower of the three-nave Gothic predecessor church collapsed during renovation.

The nave under a steep gable roof with pointed arch windows and a high stone block plinth has a short aisle to the east. The retracted choir with a straight end has its own gable roof. The east tower shows a corner squaring and ogival double sound windows and wears a pointed helmet.
