history

architecture
Church exterior
The church is a mighty, baroque, cross-shaped central building with a west tower. The facade and the presented west tower are structured by pilasters . The attic zone is continuous. Gable-like volute swings frame the tower top . The blind arch window on the upper part of the tower is divided into chambers . There are sonic arc windows in the blind arch window . Above are the clock gables with a tower clock. The tower is crowned by a pyramid helmet, which is younger than the tower. The nave has the shape of a cross with wide and shallow transverse arms. A chapel and gallery wing was added to the western transept, and a two-storey sacristy and oratory extension with segmented arches were added to the arm of the choir . The facade of the church is divided into folds, creating plaster fields. The windows are arranged on two floors. Fascia windows are partially placed over the arched windows. Portal stems are presented to the cross arms. The church is covered by hip roofs.
Church interior
The interior of the church is a longitudinally oriented central area. Due to the ratio of the equally high cross arms, which only vary noticeably in depth, a flat hanging dome in the middle yoke, which is barely elevated, forms a uniform space. The cross arms are barrel vaulted , the choir yoke is square vaulted . There are belt arches between the individual vault yokes . These are held together by a wall-bound structure made of colossal pilasters with composite capitals and a surrounding, extending entablature. The unifying marbling of the pilasters was at least renewed around 1900. Small barrel-vaulted chapels with pilaster arcades adjoin the west arm. Above there are galleries with transverse barrel vaults that cut into the vault. The organ gallery is integrated into an annex yoke to the west. It is vaulted with three bays and rests on a segmented arcade. The balustrade is protruding and has a carved lattice attachment from around 1770. On the flanks of the transepts are architraved portals and oratorios in carved frames from the mid-18th century. In the side of the choir arm there is a blind arcade inscribed in the wall structure. The side portals are crowned with stilted triangular gables. There is a mirror vault in the former Holy Sepulcher and sacristy extensions .
Furnishing
The late baroque interior is marbled. The high altar completely occupies the final conche . According to the document, it was built in 1747 and 1748 by the sculptor Johann Trimbor and carpenter Joseph Deller . The high altar consists of a niche-shaped middle section as well as dismantled flanks with double columns. Above is a volute extension with a canopy. The central figure represents St. Lawrence in glory. Above, but below the scroll, the Holy Trinity is depicted floating. The side figures represent the saints George , Florian , Sebastian and Rochus from left to right . In between there is a tabernacle structure in the Rococo style from Karnabrunn . The tabernacle is crowned with an image of the grace of Mariahilf. The sideboards are kept in the Rococo style.
The side altars on the fronts come from the former Franciscan church in Stockerau . They are wall altars with seated angels on lateral volute supports from the 1720s. The pointed gables are upside down. The altar panel of the left side altar shows the "meeting of St. Anne and St. Joachim ". The picture was painted in 1730. The altar structure is powerful. On the right side altar the "Martyrdom of St. John Nepomuk " is depicted. It was painted by Petrus van Roy in 1726. There is also a tabernacle in relief and a reliquary pyramid on the altar.
The rear side altar on the north side is a wall altar with volute supports. The altar sheet shows the holy walk . The picture was painted around 1730. It is supplemented with rococo reliquaries. The cross altar, the rear side altar on the south side, was first mentioned in a document in 1761. It is a crucifix with assistant figures and an early classical shrine with the miraculous image of “ Maria Dreieichen ”.
The pulpit dates from the middle of the 18th century and was originally made for the former Franciscan church in Stockerau. It was restored in 1784 and 1908. Reliefs of Saints Koloman , Francis and Anthony of Padua as well as evangelist seats are depicted on the swinging basket . St. Wenceslas can be seen on the door relief . Figures of the evangelists and a statue of the Good Shepherd sit on the bell-shaped sound cover . The Stations of the Cross and the oil paintings of saints date from the second half of the 19th century. The font is polygonal. It was made from sandstone in the 15th century. The confessionals were built around 1770, as were the baroque church stalls and the communion bench.
There are various gravestones in the church, such as a priest's gravestone from around 1400 (probably originally 1426), as well as baroque inscription gravestones. They are dedicated to Joachim Gross († 1687) and Theresia Scheichel († 1796).
