Building history and architecture
A first church building was probably consecrated in 1061. Before that there should have been a wooden church . Today's church, designed by Wilhelm Langenfaß, consists of a nave from 1868 to 1872 with galleries; the five-storey choir tower with a pointed helmet over four gables comes from the previous building from 1491. Of the neo-Gothic furnishings, the altar and pulpit from 1860 by Anselm Sickinger , which come from the demolished Evangelical cemetery chapel in Kaufbeuren , should be mentioned. The style adjustment of the interior of the church that took place during a renovation in 1959 was reversed during a further renovation from 1985 to 1989.
