history
A wooden church belonging to the Heiligenkreuz Abbey was documented in 1754 . In 1755 a stone church with a wooden tower was built and in 1757 it became a branch of the Alland parish church and an independent parish church in 1767. In 1780 the church was expanded structurally. In 1840 the church received a roof turret. The church was restored in 1976.
architecture
The nave with a somewhat wider (!) North choir with a triangular closure under a crooked roof has simple segmented arched windows. The wooden roof turret wears an onion helmet. A sacristy (1780) and a chapel (1976) are added to the west.
The interior of the church shows an almost square nave merging into an extended stage-like choir. The baroque balcony gallery stands on round columns.
The stained glass St. Leopold was created by Carl Geyling's Erben in 1976 as a copy of a glass painting in Klosterneuburg .
Furnishing
The simple high altar shows the altar sheet St. Leopold from 1830. The side altar shows the altar sheet Maria Immaculata around 1800.
The organ in a neoclassical case was created by Johann M. Kauffmann in 1906.
