Tips
First mentioned in 1480. The patron saints were St. Sebastian, Mary Magdalene and St. George, but in 1522 St. Mary Magdalene came first. 1520 new building with three altars and new consecration. The surrounding walls of the nave and the tower are part of the older structure.
The church faces east and consists of a rectangular nave and a choir closed on three sides. The layout suggests that the surrounding walls of the nave and the tower are older than the choir. Pointed arch windows with simple tracery. On the west front is the round-arched, late Gothic portal.
The tower: On the north side made of irregular masonry. Timbered bell room with a tent roof.translated by
