The Parish Church of St Michael Archangel

The building of this church started after 1372 but it is possible that the construction was started on the foundations of some older building. The original one-nave church was rebuilt in the Late Gothic period (1450 – 1470). The result of this rebuilding was a three-nave basilica. The church burnt down several times and so it had to be rebuilt and reconstructed. The characteristic impressive tower with the Late Renaissance arcade was added, the side naves were vaulted over by the Baroque cross vaults and the main nave was vaulted over by the barrel vaults with lunettes. The impressive interior, the architecture of the altars and decorations date mostly from the 17th and 18th centuries. The altar painting was painted by Franz Anton Maulbertsch, an outstanding painter from Vienna. The carved pews from the second half of the 18th century, two inlaid confession boxes, the chandelier in the style of Art Nouveau, and the nine side guild altars are worth seeing. This church is the dominant element of the unusual triangular square.
