architecture
The gothic church with ribbed vaults was given a baroque exterior. The three-bay nave with a south aisle is adjoined by a three-bay choir, slightly drawn in and raised by one step, with a three-eighth end . The three-axis, ribbed west gallery shows frescoes on the parapet of Christ and the Apostles from 1599, which were heavily supplemented during a restoration in 1922 and wrongly dated to 1522. The west tower with a rib vaulted bell house, like the entire outer church building, was provided with stucco ribbons around 1720 and thus given a Baroque style. The tower wears a double onion helmet. The Gothic south portal has a vaulted vestibule. The late Gothic keel-arched west portal has a door with Gothic fittings.
Furnishing
The high altar was created by Thomas Schwanthaler in 1683 . The statues in the middle shrine Maria with Jesus, Barbara and Katharina from the former Gothic winged altar around 1530 were reworked by Franz Matthias Schwanthaler in 1752. Four late Gothic relief panels Annunciation, Christmas, Presentation in the Temple and Death of Mary around 1520/1525 were transferred to the parish church of Mehrnbach . The tabernacle with a remarkable crucifixion group was created by Franz Matthias or Johann Peter Schwanthaler the Elder in the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. The left side altar, dedicated to St. Consecrated to the heart of Jesus, it was put together by Josef Furtner in 1920–1921 from parts of an old baroque altar that was removed around 1890 and found in the tower. This one carries good angel figures from the middle of the 18th century. The oil painting comes from the painter Engelbert Daringer from Wildenau. The right side altar St. Sebastian around 1690 carries a late-Gothic, revised seated figure of St. Wolfgang. The pulpit from 1685 bears the statues of the four evangelists and Jesus Christ by Johann Franz Schwanthaler (1721). The late Gothic fron arch cross was created around 1510. On the side walls of the choir and the nave are baroque statues from the 17th and 18th centuries with a remarkable Sorrowful Mother of God from the 1st half of the 18th century.
The late Gothic baptismal font is in the baptistery.
