history
The front part dates from 1853 and shows the neo-Romanesque nave construction with a facade tower and main entrance. This older part was benefactor and contributions of the community built. In 1924, when the church became too small due to the population growth, it was decided to build an extension with an octagonal tower and a hipped tile gable roof. The expansion took place in 1924 by Fritz Fuchsenberger from Munich .
description
The nave is a sandstone block construction with a gable roof and the west tower, built in 1853, has a tent roof. The eastward expansion of 1924 has a hipped roof and the octagonal choir tower has a tail hood. The church has a cemetery to the north, which was enclosed with a wall of sandstone blocks in the middle of the 19th century. The church and a late medieval cross stone located to the south of the churchyard wall , which indicates a previous chapel building, are under monument protection .
Sanctuary
The sanctuary is relatively small because it forms the first floor of the tower. A hemispherical dome sits on the cylindrical base. Daylight falls indirectly into the chancel through five stabbed caps so that there is no glare. Two ogival niches are only indicated as windows for reasons of symmetry. The 8th reveal could not be carried out because the access to the tower is from the attic at this point. A look into this dome shows the architect's skill. The guides for the bell ropes, which used to be rung by hand, can still be seen in the blind stitch caps.
The chancel opens to the nave through a large round arch, which is decorated with a colorful vine (artist: Angermaier, Munich). It grows out of stylized roots. About the vine one reads: VENITE ADOREMUS! - Come on, let's worship!
