Church building

Church exterior

The parish church and the rectory form a unit. The system is backed by the transverse connecting tract, which is elevated by mighty triangular gables. In the direction of the street, it ends with the middle portal. The walls of the nave lie under the wide gable roof . The choir is formed by a gothic niche protruding on the east side . The single-storey parish wing with monopitch or flat roofs are arranged around a small courtyard.

Church interior

Inside, the church forms a wide, straight closed hall space under a tent-like, open roof structure. The west wall is dominated by a large, ornamentally decorated glass window. The north wall is broken through by windows. In the east is a high, Gothic sacraments niche.

Furnishing

The expressionist furnishings come from the construction period (1966). On the back wall of the altar is a monumental, romanizing crucifix from the construction period. The expressionist Way of the Cross consists of wooden reliefs. An oil painting from the 19th century shows a Pietà in baroque forms. It originally hung in the old parish church.
