description
The beginnings of the church go back to the 15th century. The simple building was renovated several times before it was demolished in 1930. In 1930 the last church service took place in January , then the foundation stone was laid for the new building and its inauguration in August. The hall church with the steeple protruding into the nave, which supports an eight-sided tent roof between battlements , is built in the style of a fortified church. The Pietà is preserved from the altar from 1735 . The wooden figures of St. Valentine and St. Pantaleon come from an altar of the Fourteen Holy Helpers from the beginning of the 16th century. On the back wall of the galleries there is a representation of St. Christopher . The statues of Mary , St. Joseph and St. Elisabeth can also be seen .
