history
The nave was built as a tolerance prayer house in 1785 and consecrated in 1786. The west tower was added in 1863. In the 19th century the area of the parish reached in the west to Völkendorf, in the north to Einöde in the northeast to Tiffen. From 1900 the community area shrank when Villach initially became independent.
From 1979 the later military superintendent Oskar Sakrausky worked as pastor of St. Ruprecht.
