architecture
The post-Gothic hall church with a facade tower and an early historical transept and choir is surrounded by a walled cemetery.
The simple exterior of the church under a gable roof unites both building eras in a homogeneously unified manner, all edges show a corner squaring. The facade tower from 1588 protrudes a little from the western front, it has round-arched sound windows and an onion roof. The side front of the nave has two pointed arch windows of different sizes (1588), the polygonal transept arms as well as the choir have large pointed arch windows in the sloping walls, while the windows in the end walls are somewhat smaller. The choir is flanked by extensions under pent roofs, an oratory in the north and the sacristy in the south. There are portal porches on the south wall of the nave and in the west of the south arm of the transept.
The interior of the church from 1588 has barrel vaults with applied net ribs on console services. The south portal in the south nave wall is a shoulder portal. The organ loft is vaulted with a segmented arch barrel with net ribs and was probably widened in the second half of the 17th century with a wooden porch on wooden pillars. The extension of the transept and the choir has a strong centralizing tendency in the early historicizing round arch style on a neo-Gothic basis. The square of the crossing with beveled edges bears a ribbed vault and adjoining it the chapel-like arms of the transept and the similar somewhat longer choir with four brightly glazed double pointed arched doors on the side walls.
On the north wall of the nave there is a wall painting Last Judgment from the end of the 16th century.
Furnishing
The high altar with a neo-Gothic three-part structure is from the middle of the 19th century and has a large central niche and small side niches under staggered eyelashes with pinnacle attachments and bears the figure of St. John the Baptist, left St. Bernhard, right St. Leopold.
The Stations of the Cross by Josef Führich have neo-Rococo frames.
The organ was built by Franz Strommer in 1884.
