The St. Willibald branch church in the municipality of Kappel am Krappfeld belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of St. Martin am Krappfeld .

The church, first mentioned around 1200, consists of a Romanesque nave with a wooden roof turret and a retracted late Gothic choir with a five- eighth end. A sacristy with an ossuary is built in the basement to the south of the choir . On the west facade of the nave, next to the church entrance, there is a small, open, baroque chapel with wall paintings.

The church consists of irregular, roughly jointed ashlar masonry with white grouting. There are three small arched windows on the south side of the nave.

During the restoration in 1994/95, the wooden ceiling in the nave was reconstructed; at the same time, plant tendrils and red stencils, a late Gothic Secco painting , were exposed in the cross vault of the choir .

The Gothic altar hall is bricked. The traditional church stalls originally come from the St. Lorenzen branch church on Wallersberg.
