Furnishing

High altar

The baroque furnishings are remarkable. It comes from Meinrad Guggenbichler . The high altar was erected in 1712. The altarpiece was painted by Johann Friedrich Beretti . The two flanking statues of St. George and St. Florian were re-carved in 1854. The side altars, the pulpit and the oratorio were created in Guggenbichler's workshop in 1712. They are important works for Guggenbichler's exuberant late style and color. The painting "Lamentation of Christ" is dated 1517 and comes from the Salzburg area. It hangs in a baroque frame from Guggenbichler's workshop and was restored in 1948. The Gothic painting of the fourteen helpers in need was created around 1500 and shows Bavarian influence. In the organ gallery there are three paintings with well-carved frames from the 1740s.
