architecture

Church exterior

The uniformly neo-Gothic hall has a retracted choir with a five-eighth end and a west tower. On the nave and choir there are buttresses , two-lane pointed arched windows , above them small quatrefoil windows and a rose window in the eastern choir wall . The three-storey west tower in front is crowned by an eight-sided pyramid roof. It has a portal with a saddle arch in an ogival frame, above it in a niche a stone figure of St. Kunigunde , two-lane tracery windows and coupled pointed arch windows on the bell storey. In the south, a sacristy extension rises above a polygonal floor plan.

Church interior

The ribbed vault of the four-bay nave rests on pillars. In the west there is a three-aisled gallery on pillars above a groin vault . A pointed triumphal arch is in front of the choir area with ribbed vaults on consoles .

Furnishing

The three-part structure of the high altar , created in the fourth quarter of the 19th century, is made of wood and is partly gilded. The altarpiece in a saddle-arched frame with an attachment represents the ordeal of St. Kunigunde. On the sides there are carved figures of Saints Joseph and John Nepomuk . The rest of the furnishings come from the time the church was built.

Eight Romanesque reliefs from the beginning of the 13th century from the former parish church on the Wachtberg are now in the Museum of Lower Austria .

Bell jar

The bell was cast by Franz Zechenter in 1714.
