history

architecture

The late-Gothic church building made of tuff stone is in an attractive location close to a steep bank on the Salzach. The four-bay nave has a single nave in the easternmost bay and was extended in 1560 in the three western bays with narrow side aisles with half ribbed vaults rising towards the central nave. The central nave has a ribbed vault. The one-yoke choir with a five-eighth closure is vaulted with mesh ribs. The west facade has a late Gothic round window and two round arched windows. The west gallery is baroque. To the west is a baroque roof turret with an onion helmet. At the Gothic keel-arched south portal with a door with a Gothic lock fitting there is a vestibule.

Furnishing

The high altar from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century was made using older parts. The side altars are from the end of the 18th century. The pulpit was built around 1730.

In the nave is a Gothic statue of Our Lady of Sorrows from the end of the 15th century. The Gothic wood relief Last Supper, probably Bavarian, perhaps from the circle of Hans Leinberger , around 1520, is on loan in the Upper Austrian State Museum . In the vestibule there are memorial pictures by Johann Baptist Wengler from the middle of the 19th century.

In 2016 the chancel was redesigned by the Upper Austrian artist Christoph Mayer and the Berlin architect Petr Barth. The fate of the local farmer Franz Jägerstätter was honored, who refused to become a soldier during the National Socialism and was sentenced to death in 1943.
