History and architecture

A previous church, of which the west tower in the current church has probably been preserved, existed as early as 1191. The tower is structured with acoustic arcades divided by columns . A pyramid helmet was put on him. A somewhat smaller building with a retracted rectangular choir was excavated under the hall . The current three-bay hall church with a retracted choir and a three-sided end was consecrated in 1736. The groin vaults with neo-baroque paintings were drawn in in 1910 and restored in 1976.
