Parish and building history
A chapel foundation has come down to us from 1314 . The parish elevation with incorporation for the Melk Abbey , which sends the pastor to this day, took place in 1783. The core of the baroque church is likely to date from the Middle Ages and was restored in 1971.
Building description
Outside
The church is made of stone-covered quarry stone masonry. The nave with a gable roof has baroque arched windows and swinging buttresses from the 17th century. The chancel with pointed arched windows and stepped baroque curved buttresses adjoins the nave in the east. To the south of the choir is a mighty, compact Gothic tower with round arched sound windows. The tower is covered by a pyramid roof with clock gables and crowned with a tower ball and a simple metal cross.
Instead of a railing, the former ornamental latticed stone communion bench from the first half of the 18th century is attached to the staircase leading to the tower oratory. To the left of this is a relief tombstone from 1735 on the outer wall of the nave. At the apex of the choir is the relief of a picture of the grace of Mary over Immendorf from around 1900, which is labeled "Khuen" .
Inside
The three-bay nave is vaulted by a baroque stitch cap on wall pillar templates from the 17th century. The transition to the choir is formed by a triumphal arch that is shifted to the side in the choir axis , which is crowned against the nave with a balancing stucco drapery from the first half of the 18th century and has a Gothic profile on the choir side.
The choir with a five-eighth end is vaulted by a beveled star rib vault from the second half of the 15th century / the beginning of the 16th century. On the north wall of the choir there is an oratorio built in from the second half of the 19th century above a confessional .
Furnishing
In the apex of the choir is a crucifix with the Saints Maria and Johannes Ev. attached as assistant figures from the third quarter of the 18th century. The glass painting by Ostermann and Hartwein from Munich dates from around 1900 . The neighbors' Stations of the Cross date from around 1800. A hunched sandstone baptismal font on a pillar from the first half of the 18th century completes the furnishings.
organ
The classical organ was created by the Viennese organ builder Franz Ullmann in 1841.
