history
The church was mentioned in a document in 1409. The church, which is essentially Gothic, has been redesigned several times. Around 1500 a new building took place with the master Jörg of the Imster Bauhütte . The nave was consecrated in 1503. Around 1730/1735 the nave was extended to the west and the church was redesigned in Baroque style. From 1882 to 1886 the church was regotified. In 1891 the church was elevated to a parish church.
architecture
The late Gothic exterior structure of the church is evident in the choir through the gable with tracery noses and triangular pilaster strips, coffin cornices and the painted tracery frieze under the eaves cornice. The originally three-bay nave shows corner buttresses. The late Gothic tower on the north side of the choir, divided into three floors by cornices, has rounded sound windows with rounded arches. The baroque octagonal top with onion dome and lantern shows the year 1686. On the 3rd yoke of the nave there are three-sided closing chapels, north the cross chapel from 1730, south the Franz Xaver chapel from 1811. The nave facade shows neo-Gothic pointed arched windows from the end of the 19th century. There are wall paintings on the south side of the nave. A late Gothic fresco Christophorus around 1520 was fragmented by the addition of the chapel and the installation of a window. Next to it is a baroque picture of Christophorus from the beginning of the 18th century, a picture of the Mount of Olives from the 4th quarter of the 18th century. On the choir is a baroque painting of the Crucifixion from the end of the 18th century and a niche figure of St. Ulrich.
The nave and the one-bay choir with 3/8 end are vaulted with a barrel with stitch caps. The church shows late Gothic pillars with round services and neo-Gothic stucco ribs. A pillar with a cartridge is marked 1886. The vault painting in the choir was done by the painter Alois Felder (1883). The barrel vaulted sacristy has an iron plate door. The stained glass of the choir windows was created by the painter Elmar Kopp (1965).
Furnishing
The reliefs Wedding at Cana, Abraham and Melchizedech, Emmaus, the miraculous multiplication of bread on the high altar and the entombment on the antependium were created by the sculptor Josef Bachlechner the Elder (1884). The neo-Gothic tabernacle and the neo-Gothic pulpit show pictures by the painter Heinrich Kluibenschädel. The pews are neo-Gothic.
The organ was built in 1888 by the Mayer brothers' organ building company .
Relics
A cross particle is in the possession of the parish Tarrenz, which has been venerated as genuine for centuries, although the seal of authenticity is missing. According to a document from Bishop Johann von Brixen dated November 18, 1447, she may have come to Tarrenz with other relics from the castle chapel of St. Georg and St. Margaretha from Altstarkenberg. The relic was set in a golden heart of Jesus at the end of the 15th century. In 1772 the Höpperger family from Bolzano donated a monstrance for this purpose.
