history
Since the 12th century the place was a branch of St. Michael in the Wachau and thus incorporated into the St. Florian monastery. In 1632 the place became a branch of the parish church Weissenkirchen in the Wachau . The churches built in 1727/1734 and 1743 were destroyed by fires. Today's uniform late baroque church was built from 1784 to 1791. 1784 was also the elevation to its own parish. The parish church was consecrated in 1797. 1962 was a restoration.
architecture
- Church exterior
The northern entrance facade is structured by laterally layered pilasters and pilaster strips under beams and a two-zone volute gable with four flame vases and a clock gable crown. The tower top with an onion helmet stands behind the facade gable. The facades of the nave sides and the retracted rectangular choir have a pilaster and entablature structure with segmented arches and long pass windows and three pass hatches. A low sacristy is built to the south.
Next to the church is a crucifix from the third quarter of the 18th century.

The three-bay nave has a narrower gallery in the north and a drawn-in, flat, closed chancel, vaulted with a lance-cap barrel on belt arches on sturdy pillars with cranked beams and a surrounding cornice. The organ gallery on a needle cap barrel has a protruding parapet. The ceiling painting in medallions, music-making angels with St. Cecilia, Condemnation of St. Florian, torture of the saint, finding his corpse, the saint as intercessor, painted by Anton Mayer (completed in 1791).
Furnishing
The high altar as a late baroque double column retable with attached volute tapering and a cartridge extract was created around 1730. It shows the altarpiece Drowning of St. Florian painted Martin Johann Schmidt (1786), the upper picture Adoration of the Most Holy, the statues St. Leopold and Donatus, and has classicistic pseudo-architectural sacrifice portals with vase decoration. The popular altar has baroque forms. The tabernacle with angel figures was created around 1790. The side altars as a classicist picture frame retable show the death of St. Josef, crucifixion on the right, both by Martin Johann Schmidt (1790).
The organ case with leaf and plait decoration comes from the construction period. Hans Kupferschmidt mentions a bell in 1486 and Franz Rodtlmayr mentions a bell in 1793.
