Description

The Church of St. Peter and Paul was built as a Pauline monastery – the original chapel was already known in 1660. After the abolition of the order in 1786, the parish of the Church of the Holy Cross was transferred here from Kaiserwald. In 1798, architect Sebastian Fesinger carried out a partial reconstruction, during which the bell tower was added. The facade of the church features an image by Luka Dolinsky, “Christ Hands Over the Keys to St. Peter.” Next to the church are stone figures of St. Peter and St. Paul from the late 19th century, founded by the parish priest Peter-Franz Krypiakevich. Inside the church is an iconostasis by Luka Dolinsky.
