History and equipment

The church was built in 1084 as a unified Romanesque building under the patronage of Zenon of Verona and was called St. Zeno until the Reformation . During the Reformation period, the frescoes from the early Gothic period were covered over due to the reformed ban on images . It was not exposed until 1926. The side walls depict scenes from the New Testament . Behind the flat pulpit , which stands on a stone base and does not have a sound cover , disciples and apostles can be seen. In the center of the interior of the church, which is covered by a barrel vault , there is an octagonal baptismal font .
