history
Originally St. Stephan belonged to Niederhornbach, but was then incorporated into the Pfaffendorf parish for centuries .

The last interior renovation took place in 1988/89, the last exterior renovation in 1995.
architecture
The east-facing hall church has a nave with baroque rounded window openings and a closed during three sides, uncollected choir and the north ajar because choir flank tower still in its late Gothic original condition. The three east windows in the choir were added in the baroque period. The 29.20 meter high tower with floor structure is decorated on the outside with pointed arches and is crowned by a pointed helmet over four triangular gables. A vestibule built on the west facade leads to the interior of the church; a pointed arch portal on the south side was walled up.
The interior of the choir is spanned by a late Gothic reticulated vault with pear-shaped ribs. These rest on profiled semicircular consoles with pointed shields in front of them. The four circular keystones of the choir vault show exposed representations from the 15th century: Jesus Christ , Mary with the child , parish patron Laurentius and the church patron Stephanus . The nave has a flat ceiling over a baroque hollow . Simple stucco decoration frames a ceiling painting by the Moosburg painter Josef Mader from 1949.
