The building was first mentioned in documents in 1214. The Romanesque nave has a Gothic circular window in the west, a flat ceiling, an offset round apse with an oylet and on the tower a socle with bevelled, square stones, also two rows of coupled pointedarch louver windows, a stone-framed semi-circular door and a low square spire. Major alterations were carried out in c. 1440. The Romanesque frescoes in the apse were executed in c. 1215. Particularly impressive is the show of demonic power in the form of hermaphrodites populating the socle. Two of these hybrids are even stretching towards the upper register, thus demonstrating the juxtaposition between saints and demons. In the apse there is a Majestas Domini portrayal.
