The late Baroque parish church in Aspersdorf is dedicated to St. George and stands on a hill south of the Oeres. To the west, the towering, three-axis, gabled façade with chamfered corners is divided by pilasters and entablatures. Above the high portal with a cantilevered lintel on volute consoles is a circular blind window, above which is a high gable attic with pilasters between lateral volute supports and a central hexagonal blind window, crowned by a triangular gable with a coat of arms cartouche of the Counts of Schönborn. On the gable legs sit allegorical top figures of Fides and Ecclesia; in the area of the volute supports are top figures of a cardinal and a bishop as well as St. George and St. Florian. The tower is attached to the north side of the choir. The Gothic part of the tower with slit windows has been preserved up to the height of the church eaves. Above this is the Baroque bell storey with chamfered corners and pilaster structure and large, round-arched sound windows.
