The late Gothic one-bay choir with a five-eighth closure and a ribbed vault is from the 15th century. The originally single-nave Gothic nave was converted and expanded in 1723 by the builder Matthias Bereiter from Ried into a cross-vaulted central nave and two side aisles with rising vaults. The west tower with a groin vaulted bell house received an octagonal tower with a pointed helmet. The Gothic south portal has a vestibule. The sacristy portal is Gothic.
Furnishing
Josef Furthner built the new high altar . The side altars from the end of the 17th century were later changed. The left side altar bears Mary and Child from the end of the 17th century in the center and an angel by Franz Schwanthaler (1726) in the top. The right side altar bears Wolfgang and Erasmus from the 3rd quarter of the 17th century in the manner of Ludwig Vogl, an Altöttinger Madonna and in the essay Andreas and Franziskus by Franz Schwanthaler (1726). The statue of the Heart of Jesus and the top relief was created by Josef Furthner (1938).
The pulpit is from the end of the 18th century. The baptismal font is late baroque. A picture of Christ appears to Magdalena as a gardener in a Renaissance frame (1596), in the manner of the Prague court circle, hangs above the south portal .
