architecture

The small Gothic church building with a polygonal apse has a high gable turret with a pointed helmet from the 19th century in the west. On the western front with a bevelled portal there is an arbor, south of the sacristy annex.

The interior of the church shows in the nave, which was originally provided with a flat ceiling, a three-bay cross-arched nave extended by one yoke to the west. The gallery is made of wood. The sacristy is barrel vaulted. The triumphal arch is rounded. The sanctuary has a semi-dome with stitch caps. The church has simple ogival windows.

Furnishing

The high altar from the first quarter of the 18th century has a carved figure of St. Laurentius. The right side altar around 1700 shows the altar sheet St. Ursula. Two console statues are from the 20th century. The canvas painting St. Michael is from the first half of the 17th century.

Marx calls Mathias Zechenter a bell in 1737.
