Building description
The broad hall church has a choir from the mid-15th century with tracery windows and buttresses on the north side. The squat tower in the southern corner of the choir with slits in the wall, round-arched biforic sound windows and a pyramid helmet probably dates back to Roman times. The nave, which was modified in the 17th century, has arched windows on the long sides and round windows on the west side. There are chamfered round arch portals on the west and north sides. The base cornice runs around the entire building. Relief stones from the 9th or 10th century are walled in on the west wall.
In the flat-roofed nave there is a wooden baroque gallery. The half-length evangelist pictures on the nave walls were created in the 18th century. A pointed, chamfered triumphal arch connects the nave with the lower choir. In the retracted, two-bay choir with a five- eighth end, a ribbed vault with painted keystones rises on semicircular wall templates. From the south wall of the choir, a pointed arch portal with a profiled vestment and an iron-clad door wing leads to the sacristy on the ground floor of the tower. Crosses of the Apostles have been preserved on the walls . The uncovered frescoes show, among other things, St. Wolfgang and the Apostle Bartolomäus .
