history
The church was first mentioned in a document in 1151. The church is a Gothic building from the beginning of the 15th century. This is probably one of the first representatives of a "hexagonal church". Therefore, the church is of particular importance in terms of architectural history. The church was renovated in 1951.
architecture
- Church exterior
The Gothic west tower has an eight-sided top with an onion helmet from the Baroque period from 1728.
- Church interior
The nave of the church is 4½ yokes. The western 1½ bays have three aisles, the eastern bays were probably originally two aisles, but the central pillar was removed at a later time. The building is comparable to the Braunau am Inn hospital church . There is a wide-span ribbed vault above the nave . The retracted, two-bay choir closes at the 3/8 end and was originally vaulted with mesh ribs, but the ribs were removed at a later time. The sacristy and the chamber of the dead are vaulted with ribs. The south and north portals are Gothic. A vestibule is built in front of the northern one. The gate to the sacristy is Gothic. The door is decorated with rich lilies.
Furnishing
The high altar dates from 1657. The altarpiece was painted by Johann Miller in the same year . The tabernacle is from 1905. The side altars in Baroque forms were probably created in the first half of the 19th century, the altarpieces were created as early as the beginning of the 18th century. The pulpit is neo-Gothic . In the choir there is a late Gothic relief of the "Death of Mary". It's a weaker work from the end of the 15th century.
