architecture
- Church exterior
The late Gothic church with a mighty east tower is surrounded by a cemetery. The simple exterior under a steep gable roof has a nave and a drawn-in three-sided closing choir with a surrounding plinth. A sacristy is added to the east. The tower has coupled sound windows and a curved hood over a baroque eight-sided tower based on a plan by the local civil engineer and landlord Siegfried Mößmer (1966). On the tower there is a fresco of Christophorus to the south and a remnant of the fifth station of the Cross from the second half of the 18th century to the east. The southern gable front has arched windows and an oculus in the gable and shows a painted sundial marked 1795.
- Church interior
In the Emporenjoch there is a double gallery on columns. The three-bay nave has a flat lancet vault over pilaster-structured wall pillars. The triumphal arch is rounded. The one-yoke choir closes in a semicircle. The church windows are arched. The ceiling fresco St. Anton Franz Altmutter (1784) painted Nicholas as the savior in the famine in the nave . The ceiling fresco Resurrection of Christ in the choir was painted by Franz Plattner (1886). The fresco St. Nikolaus painted in the walled-up window above the sacristy door by Josef Randolf (1888).
Furnishing
The classical high altar was built by the sculptor August Schärmer (around 1830) as a simple column structure with a horizontal cornice with an attachment between adoring angels and a round niche. Instead of an altar sheet, the high altar bears a baroque wooden figure of the Madonna from the 17th century transferred here from the Lettenkapelle. The high altar bears figures on consoles, Kassian on the left, Blasius on the right, both from the second half of the 18th century.
The wooden figures are on consoles above the side altar trees, on the left Nicholas from the end of the 18th century, on the right a group of guardian angels by August Schärmer (around 1830). There are two carved figures Benedikt and Bernhard by Andreas Thamasch (after 1695).
The neo-baroque organ was built by Franz Weber (1877).
