description
The hall church from 1842–45 has taken over the retracted choir tower from the previous building made of rubble stones from the 12th century. The nave with its arched windows is covered with a gable roof. The interior is covered with a wooden barrel vault on which a coffered ceiling is painted. The biforias in the lower part of the tower are partially walled up. A slate top carries an octagonal hood with the tower clocks . An open lantern is enthroned on it . The uniform church furnishings come from the construction time. In the yoke of the tower there is a pointed-arched sacrament house . The bells are from the 14th century and from 1502.
The organ with 15 stops , divided into a manual and a pedal , was built by Julius Strobel in 1847 .
