architecture
The Gothic staggered church has a featured neo-Gothic west tower and a roof turret on the ridge.
Since the renovation in 1889/1892, the church has been looking stone. A choir with a five-eighth end adjoins the broadly proportioned nave . To the north of the choir stands the Michael Chapel, which is slightly off-axis and has a five-eighth closure with its own gable wall and roof. The south aisle has a polygonal end. The nave and choir as well as the Michael's chapel have buttresses, some of which are stepped, and one and two-lane tracery windows. The three-zone west tower from 1889/1892 has a wedge roof, the tower bears a crucifix from the end of the 19th century with relief shields from the market Schottwien and Prince Liechtenstein over a pointed arch opening. In the southern corner of the choir there is a two-storey sacristy extension under two transverse half-hipped roofs.
The stained glass was created by the Geyling company, partly with donor inscriptions or coats of arms.
Furnishing
The largely neo-Gothic interior with some richly carved work was created in 1889/1892.
The organ was built by Johann M. Kauffmann in 1882.
