description

As early as 1315, St. Martin was mentioned as a branch church of the parish of Öxing . The previous Gothic building was smaller. In 1733 Thomas Mayr extended the church by nine meters and renewed the roof structure, on which a roof turret with an onion hood was erected. At the same time, a flat ceiling was installed . The hall building has a straight end of the choir . The vestibule with the ossuary is more recent.

The 17th century altar shows St. Martin as a bishop who hands a beggar a coin.
