Built in the 19th century under the auspices of Cons. Peter Alois Bauer and Fruehmesser Alois Moriggl, the painter Franz Plattner dec

orated the entire interior with frescoes in vivid colours. This work occupied the master for a significant period of time. The frescos in the vault were created between 1862 and 1874. Remarkable as well are the abstract floral patterns that cover all the interior walls outside the frescos as well as the gilded pulpit.
