    The hall church, consecrated on October 22, 1719, was built on the foundations of a chapel built in 1439. The choir in the east of the nave, which is closed on three sides on the outside, is semicircular on the inside. There are two extensions to the nave, one for the sacristy and the other for the patron's box. The facade has a volute gable. The façade tower on top houses the tower clock and the belfry with three church bells cast in 1950. The interior of the nave is covered with an arched barrel vault. The stucco is by Donato Polli. The church furnishings date from the construction period. On the altarpiece there is a depiction of the crucifixion painted by Johann Daniel Preissler. The organ with 14 registers, two manuals and one pedal was built in 1969.
