description

The parish church is a hall building with wall pillars, the nave of which is spanned with barrel vaults. It is three-bay with flat stab caps over the windows. The room is divided by wide belt arches with frame stucco and banding. The rectangular choir is drawn in and has two yokes.

Furnishing

In the choir is the richly decorated high altar , which presumably dates from the time the church was built and is decorated with vases and putti . In the middle there is a picture of the church patron, Saint Michael, which dates from the period after 1900. Originally, a sculpture of St. Michael was attached here. On the outside of the altar there are figures of the Archangel Gabriel (left) and the Archangel Raphael (right) and two other angel statues towards the center. The two side altars from the 1730s are built as glass cabinet altars and decorated with tendrils and representations of angels. The Immaculate Conception can be seen in the Marian altar on the right side of the nave , while the altar on the right shows a statue of Saint Sebastian .

The pulpit is decorated with scenes of martyrs and is located on the south pillar of the nave. On the sound cover of the pulpit, which dates from 1760, are the four symbols of the evangelists , surrounded by putti, and as a conclusion, the apostle Paul at the highest point of the cover.

On the walls of the nave there are figures of St. Leonhard , St. Wendelin , St. Johannes Gualbertus , St. Catherine , St. Joseph , St. Margaret of Antioch , St. Apollonia and St. Barbara .

The ceiling frescoes were created in 1801/1802 by Vitus and Maurus Fuchs. In the center of the choir, the apostles John and James are depicted, in the stitch caps on the north side the pictures show the appearance of an angel in front of Elisabeth and Zacharias and the conversation of an angel with Joseph. The archangel Raphael as the pioneer of Tobias and the flight of the prophet Elijah into the desert can be seen in the stabbing caps on the south side. The four church fathers Ambrosius , Hieronymus , Augustine and Gregory the Great are depicted in the stitch caps . The ceiling above the gallery is decorated with a picture of jubilant angels, the main picture in the ship shows Mary taken into heaven.
