Building description
The current church is a Gothic building from the 14th century with structural changes from the Baroque period . Multi-stepped buttresses support the choir with a five-eighth end . The fortified upper storey of the choir and tower, probably added at a later date in the choir, bear witness to the church's former defenses. The south-facing sacristy tower with ogival sound openings and loopholes is crowned by a pointed helmet. The outside staircase on the east wall of the tower is marked 1797. On the south side of the nave, the baroque Antonius chapel with a dome roof and lantern was added in 1670. You enter the church from the west through a profiled pointed arch portal.
A flat, baroque plastered ceiling with a ceiling painting of the Holy Trinity above the organ loft and the Annunciation to Maria above the middle of the nave (around 1845, attributed to Christoph Brandstätter) stretches over the Saallanghaus . The organ gallery with balustrade and organ bay stands on wooden balusters. The high, pointed triumphal arch connects the nave with the slightly retracted Gothic choir. The ribs of the groin vault in the choir were chopped off. The cartridge marked GEVT at the entrance to the Antonius Chapel refers to Georg Ernst von Teutenhofen, the builder of the chapel. The dome of the Antonius Chapel is equipped with stucco from the time it was built (1670). The sacristy is located on the first floor of the tower , above it an oratorio set up at the end of the 18th century , for which a window was broken out into the choir.
In 1948 frescoes from the second half of the 14th century were uncovered on the north wall . Starting from the left is the depiction of St. Christopher , the fall of Lucifer by the Archangel Michael , the creation of Eve out of the body of Adam, Adam and Eve under the tree of knowledge and the burial of Christ.
