history
Reisenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1045. The parish was mentioned for the first time in 1413, and in 1544 there was already an independent, stately feudal parish with Seibersdorf. The damage caused by the Turks in 1683 could not be repaired until 1703, when the church and the tower were significantly increased.
architecture
The core of the building is a Romanesque-Gothic fortified church with a western tower. The high Romanesque nave has been extended by two exedrons . A late Gothic choir with buttresses adjoins it in the east. To the north of it is the two-storey baroque sacristy with the former oratory . The church tower, which is also Gothic, has a baroque bell storey and an onion dome.
The interior is a three- bay longitudinal central room with a lance- cap barrel , the wider central bay being extended by semicircular side chapels. The organ gallery is to the west . The stained glass windows are from 1906 and were renewed in 1946/47.
