Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul

The hall church was built in 1728/29. It consists of a nave covered with a gable roof with a foot hip, flanked by chapels on both sides, a recessed, semicircular choir to the east, and a choir flanking tower with a square floor plan on its north wall, which was extended with an octagonal storey housing the clock tower and the bell cage and covered with an onion dome clad in shingles.
The church's furnishings include a high altar from the late 18th century. The altarpiece depicts the handing over of the keys from Jesus to Peter, thus making him Christ's representative on earth. The altarpiece depicts the coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity.

The high altar is flanked by six figures, on the left side, from inside to outside:
St. Francis Xavier, St. Peter, and St. Florian.
On the right side, from inside to outside: St. John Nepomuk, St. Paul, and the plague saint St. Sebastian, depicted here as a soldier with the attribute of arrows piercing him.
The pulpit, built around 1720, is decorated with statues of the Salvator Mundi and the Church Fathers.
The organ was built in 2006 as Opus 264 by Thomas Jann Orgelbau.
