history
A medieval parish was accepted, which was later temporarily Protestant. An older church burned down in 1587 and was rebuilt before 1641 and was destroyed in the Turkish War in 1683 and renovated in 1685. From 1727 to 1731 there was a new building as a uniform baroque building. Renovations were in 1880 and 1921. The church was restored inside in 1956 and outside in 1960.
architecture
The uniform baroque building has a squat high nave with a slim two-storey west tower with a mansard-shaped helmet. The side extensions are a choir staircase and a baptistery. The facade shows fields framed by buckles. The retracted choir with a semicircular apse is the same height as the nave. In the corners of the choir there are lower two-storey sacristy extensions. The west portal has a profiled roof with ornamental volutes. Above the west portal is a window with a gable and the inscription Anno 1727. The northern sacristy portal has an oval skylight and shows an angel's head in the wedge.
Furnishing
The high altar from the construction period has an architectural frame in the wall structure and shows the oil painting Transfiguration of Christ with the twelve apostles (around 1690). The top of the frame is an angel's head and there are putti on the cornice.
