History

The church was built between 1381 and 1390 in Gothic style. (According to the homepage of the parish, the church was built between 1243 and 1250 in late Romanesque, early Gothic style.) The church was later reconstructed in Renaissance style. It has a Baroque tower. In 1650 a chapel was built to its southern side, which has a Rococo altar of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows from the second half of the 18th century.
