The Town'sPparish Church St.Laurenz

The Gothic longhouse with its three naves was erected under the Viennese cathedral master builder Laurenz Speyningin the years of 1466 to 1485. However, it was not before 1500 when the chancel could be finished at last. The partitionarch depicts the year 1521 as the date of completion. The longhouse is divided by a simple cross-rib vault, whereas a star-rib vault is already to be found in the chancel.

In 1716 a fire destroyed the interior and the steeple of the church. A renewal in baroque style took place in 1721. However,the steeple was again damaged by a fire in the year of 1868. After taking a vote the citizens decided to fashion its spire in the neo-Gothic style. By doing so the steeple resumedits earlier appearance. Another well worth seeing feature is a group of figures dealing with the Agony of Christ. This is situated at the main entrance and dates back to 1450.
