history
Probably the oldest church in the Mürz Valley was originally dedicated to St. Nicholas . A church was first mentioned in documents in 1094 and a parish in 1269. From the end of the 15th century until 1786 the parish was incorporated into the Neuberg Abbey. From 1767 a new building was built under the master builder Martin Rottmayr, and the church was consecrated in 1774. The structure of the Gothic tower was largely preserved after the renovation. The church facade was restored in 1961, and the interior as well between 1973 and 1974.
architecture
The wide three-bay nave has rounded niches with side chapels between the mighty wall pillars. Over a heavy cornice on Rococo capitals, square vaults rest on flat basket arch belts. The west gallery has a curved parapet. The drawn-in, flat, closed one-bay choir also has a square vault. The six-storey bell tower set in the southwest corner shows a baroque plaster ashlar, plaster pilaster strips and plaster double pilasters. The tower chapel has deeply drawn cross ribs. The top floor is designed in the baroque style with an onion roof and lantern. The south wall of the nave shows the Styrian coat of arms with a shield and ducal hat.
The figural stained glass windows were created in 1890.
There are coat of arms tombstones from 1557 and the 18th century.
Furnishing
A bell gives the year 1753.
