First documentary mentions of the church were in 1242 and 1320. The current late Gothic nave dates from the period of reconstruction in the years 1517-1520. Initiator of the church building was the former owner of the manor, Johann von Rabenstein. About the architect is not much known, chronicles mentions only a "Master Hans with journeymen". The church once had three towers with battlements and loopholes. The north tower was repeatedly restored because unstable ground in the 16th century and finally demolished during the Baroque reconstruction by the architect Johann Mathes Leistner 1783-86. Parts of the church burned down in 1964. Gradually, the church will to be restored. It was a permission visit.
The baroque Deanery (former residence of the dean) below the church was built in 1755-56 by the architect J. Poepperle. Inside stucco ceilings and the original barrel vault are preserved, but unfortunately this building was not accessible.
