architecture
Church exterior
The church is an early baroque building with pilaster strips . The church stands over a cross-shaped floor plan and has a hipped cross roof. The effect of the church is characterized by the smooth, staggered building cubes. In the corners between the choir and the transverse arms there are two-storey extensions. The massive church tower is two-storey and crowned by a bent pyramid helmet. It is attached to the south of the choir. A small entrance room is built in front of the north facade. This addition dates from 1975. There are rectangular portals on the short transverse arms.
Church interior
The interior of the cross-shaped hall building is uniform. The church interior is vaulted with groin vaults and has transverse barrels in the transverse arms. In between are belt arches that rest on pilasters and a surrounding entablature. This is continued in the chancel. The organ gallery is vaulted under a barrel and has a swinging parapet. The stained glass on the windows depicts Saints Francis , Theresa and Joseph . These windows were painted in 1910. The Good Shepherd , Pietà and Holy Trinity windows date from 1903 and the stained glass window of St. Cecilia from 1915 and the window of St. Leopold from 1950. The walls are clad with stucco marble and divided by pilasters. The wall cladding dates from around 1780. In the transverse rectangular choir bay, the cladding on the walls is pulled forward.
Furnishing
The entablature with a serrated frieze is arched up over the high altar painting, which shows the Holy Trinity. The picture was painted by JN Steiner in 1782. The people's altar was created in 2010 from Untersberg and Adnet marble.
The side altars were created around 1780. There are stucco marble picture frames above the altar tables. The altarpiece on the left side altar shows the " Lamentation of Christ ". It was painted in 1787 by Vinzenz Fischer . The picture on the right side altar was painted by Johann Christian Brand in the last quarter of the 18th century. It shows the " birth of Christ ". The pulpit dates from the Josephine era. A female figure with symbols of Christian virtues is depicted on the cover plate .
The early Baroque image of Count Julius Friedrich Bucellini's foundation from 1684 is remarkable. It was painted by Johannes Frans Aigentorf . It depicts the founder in front of Pope Julius and Bishop Friedrich I of Utrecht . In addition, there are allegorical figures, captions and a detailed inscription on the foundation. On a marble inscription stone for the foundation of the Trinity Brotherhood by Count Friedrich Bucellini in 1686 is a crowning marble coat of arms as well as scrollwork and volute framing. The Stations of the Cross are from the 17th century and were revised in the 19th century. The figures of Christ and Mary are from the end of the 19th century, the crucifix is from the 19th century.
