description
It is a rectangular complex without a choir section of 10.7 × 5.4 m with a protruding east tower with a gable roof between stepped gables, in the basement of which the sacristy is housed with high cross vaults . The nave ceiling, originally made of wood, was replaced in 1731 by a stucco ceiling by Franz Xaver Horneis ; at the same time a new plaster came into the church. The rococo ceiling painting shows the church patron in glory with the four evangelists in corner medallions. The baroque two-column high altar from the end of the 17th century has a rococo tabernacle with a newer altarpiece; the two-column side altars also come from the Rococo (1762), but were later modified. Late Gothic are a Mother of God (1480/90) on the right side altar, a self- third figure (beginning of the 16th century) on the left side altar and the diocesan saint Walburga (around 1510/20), a “good figure with elegant drapery” (Mader, Kunstdenkmäler , P. 93). A figure of Paul comes from the middle of the 15th century. The ringing consisted of a late Gothic bell (1450–1550) and a second from 1681 in 1928.
