history
The location of a lost castle is believed to be at the location. Gottschalk von Unzing and others decided in 1250 a dispute between the Salzburg cathedral chapter and Rüdiger von Bergheim . Gottschalk's daughter married Heinrich von Wiesbach around 1272 . Gottschalk appeared in 1285 as a judge in the Neuhaus nursing court . He witnessed the pledge of parts of Kalham Castle . The Wenigunzing estate (cadastral community Neuhofen, Schaming No. 20) was subject to tax until the basic relief from 1848 to Neuhaus.
The church goes back to the Romanesque castle chapel consecrated to St. James . The St. James patronage refers to the pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela that were widespread in the Middle Ages . Around 1500 the residential tower of the castle was demolished or converted into a simple, single-nave church with a Gothic chancel and a wooden roof turret.
The altarpiece from 1845 was made by the painter Franz Moser and shows St. James the Elder in front of the Madonna and Child. God the Father can be seen in the altarpiece , above it is a cross. The pulpit with a wooden parapet rises on a brick substructure. A Gothic cross, a Way of the Cross with 15 stations and the benches on the gallery, along with the remains of a fresco, are among the other special features of the branch church.
The church was last renovated in 1997. The church is looked after by rural neighbors, who take turns doing this every five years. The Mozart cycle path leads past the little church .
