history

A parish was mentioned in a document in 1265. The church building, which is essentially medieval, was built as an early classicist building from 1768 to 1771 with master bricklayer Johann Reitmayer according to plans by Matthias Gerl (1712–1765).

architecture

The nave under a hipped roof and the strongly recessed choir are structured on the facade with vertical plastered fields. The east facade of the west-facing church shows rounded corners and has a basket arch portal with a studded iron door with flat arched windows on the sides. The west tower at the head of the choir - in the core medieval - shows on the ground floor a plaster stone squaring, a walled up segment arch portal, and on the two upper floors corner pilaster strips, rectangular windows and has a pointed onion helmet.

Furnishing

The interior is uniformly late baroque. The high altar made of stucco marble with half columns and a curved cranked entablature and a blown gable shows the high altar sheet Martyr of St. Lorenz, painted by Martin Johann Schmidt (1769).

The organ was built by Gerhard Hradetzky (1982).
