architecture
- Church exterior
The late Gothic staggered church with a gable roof with a circumferential hollow and a west tower is surrounded by a cemetery. The central nave merges into an equally wide choir with a triangle closure. The side aisles with sloping ends in the east have pent roofs. The buttresses of the side aisles are two-fold and placed over the corners of the western front. The two buttresses by the choir are three-tiered. In the north and south, in the second yoke of the nave, there are multiple grooved, ogival late Gothic portals. The windows are ogival and received tracery in the 19th century. In the south at the third yoke between two buttresses there is a single-storey extension with a pent roof with an exit to the crypt.
The west gable facade has a central tower. The tower is from the beginning of the 13th century at the bottom and Baroque at the top with a final cornice with a short eight-sided tower above it with a bell helmet with an eight-sided lantern from 1789. The tower hall is groin-vaulted with a Romanesque grooved portal from 1200 to the nave. On the arch of the portal are fragments of a Romanesque ornamental and figural painting.
- Church interior
The three-bay, three-aisled nave has late Gothic four-diamond vaults on circular services and consoles. The two-bay choir with a three-eighth closure has late Gothic six-diamond vaults on round services. The north four-bay aisle has two parallel rib vaults, the two parallel ribs in the choir bay are rotated by 90 degrees. In the north, the side aisle is followed by a two-storey late Gothic sacristy with burr star vaults on both storeys and a late Gothic portal with a straight lintel and side consoles on the stairs to the upper storey. The southern four-bay aisle has two parallel ribbed vaults and a choir with a five-eighth end with a vault with a flowing diamond configuration.
The late Gothic crypt was uncovered in the middle of the 19th century and since 1955 it has had an access as an extension to the south aisle. The two-bay crypt with a three-eighth closure has a star rib vault on circular services with bases and an adjoining room under a barrel vault in the west. The altar mess in the crypt was created by Josef Zenzmaier (1980) and contains a religion of St. Marcellinus. In the crypt there is an inscription plate notary from the Bishop of Chiemsee, who died in 1471. The benches are from the middle of the 19th century.
