history

In 1716 the Church of was Saints St. Leonhard in baroque built style. Old records, however, do not speak of a building, but of a renovation, since at least one chapel should have previously been in the place of the current church . This chapel was also dedicated to St. Leonhard. Some records even speak of a second chapel, dedicated to Saint Peter, right next to the first chapel. Both chapels are said to have been converted into today's church.

Renovations to the church were carried out in 1957 and 1990–1991. Since May 5th 1991 it has been used again for church services.

The high altar , which shows St. Leonhard, dates from the time it was built.
