architecture
The Gothic choir with a five-eighth closure has a ribbed vault. The gothic single-nave four-bay nave has a crossing bay with a ribbed vault and the western bays have a ribbed vault. The nave was structurally changed at the end of the 16th century and expanded around 1635 on both sides of the eastern yoke with two chapels with a transept-like effect. On the outer north side of the nave over the three western bays are arcades with Tuscan columns. The west tower with a Gothic door was completed in a post-Gothic style in 1611 and has a new pointed helmet.
Furnishing
The church furnishings are neo-Gothic. The high altar statue of St. Georg was created by the sculptor Josef Rint (around 1861 to 1863). The side altars have baroque figures from the first half of the 18th century.
The war memorial designed by Hans Foschum in 1955 is located on the west side of the church tower .
