history

A church was consecrated in 1093 and named as a parish church in 1152. The late Gothic church was built in 1512. The nave was greatly expanded in the Baroque style in 1830 and the church was re-consecrated in 1832. Interior renovations were from 1867 to 1872 and 1935.

architecture

The late Gothic church, which stands in a raised position on the eastern edge of the village of Nauders, is surrounded by a cemetery. The retracted choir with triangular pilaster strips, the mountain-side church tower and the two-storey sacristy attached to the south have been preserved from the late Gothic period.

The five-axis nave with pilasters above a high base has arched windows. The surrounding eaves are pierced by windows. The facade in the north has a curved gable and a high arched portal with pilasters and a baroque niche figure God the Father and statues on the side of the gable base. At the church there is a tombstone marked 1598 and a tombstone for Jacob Miterhofer, who died in 1628 and was marked 1617.

The late Gothic nave was greatly expanded in the Baroque style in 1830. The deep gallery yoke with two galleries is adjoined by three late Gothic nave yokes in the masonry, whereby the building, which was laid out wider in 1830, created side aisle-like corridors. The former nave walls were broken through in a round arch and the former late Gothic vault ribs and vaulting services were removed. The triumphal arch is rounded. The one-bay choir with a five-eighth closure has Gothic services and a stitch cap vault.

The vault painting Annunciation in the choir was painted in 1935 by the painter Ludwig Sturm . The frescoes Adoration of the Shepherds, Crucifixion and Resurrection and side medallions depicting saints were painted by the painter Johann Kärle with his brother Stephan Kärle in 1870. The glazing with partly figural representations was created from 1870 to the end of the 19th century.

Furnishing

The early historical high altar shows an altar sheet Valentin von Terni by the painter Karl Blaas (1863) and bears the statues Peter and Paul and on the antependium relief figures of the four evangelists.

The left choir altar bears the late Gothic figures Johannes, Maria and Leonhard around 1500. The predelle relief Lamentation of Christ around 1525 was attributed to the workshop of Jörg Lederer . The right choir altar bears the late Gothic figures Christopher, Michael and Sebastian around 1510 under canopies. The wings of the altar are in the Tyrolean State Museum . The crucifix in the choir is from the 17th century. The neo-Gothic figures Katharina and Barbara date from the 19th century.

The left side altar shows the altarpiece Rosenkranzmaria, painted in 1843 by the painter Franz Stecher , and bears the statues Joachim and Anna. The right side altar shows the altarpiece St. Michael von Stecher and carries the statues John the Baptist and John the Evangelist.

The neo-Gothic pulpit bears reliefs of the evangelists. The font is neo-Gothic. There are two pictures Anna and Maria from the second half of the 18th century.

The organ by Andreas Mauracher from 1812 has been preserved with case and back positive and parts of the pipework. In 1868 Josef Sies built a new organ.
