history

Documented as ecclesia in the property register of Bishop Arn von Salzburg from around 788-790 , there was probably a monk's cell in the village from the early 8th century. In 1315 there was a church as a branch of Langkampfen . In 1891 the church was elevated to a parish church .

The church, which is essentially Gothic , was changed to Baroque style around 1722 .

architecture

The outside simple church building with a Gothic tower is surrounded by a cemetery.

The Gothic tower from the end of the 14th century on the north side of the choir has round-arched sound windows and a gable-pointed helmet that was renewed in 1877. On the south side of the choir there is a two-storey sacristy.

The interior of the church shows a three-bay nave under a baroque barrel vault on brackets with staggered stitch caps from 1722. The windows extend up to the vault, and in the attic remains of the higher Gothic vault are preserved. The triumphal arch is rounded. The slightly retracted one-bay choir with a five-eighth end has a baroque groin vault on consoles, in the north wall of the choir is a portal with a round bar profile to the tower ground floor with a Gothic ribbed vault. The vault paintings with scenes from the life of St. Martin was created by the painter Rafael Thaler in 1927 based on a design by the painter Josef Mühlbacher .

The late baroque altar furnishings from the third quarter of the 18th century were attributed to the sculptor Franz Stitz.
