They then built the Hirschstetten parish church "Mariä Himmelfahrt" from 1959 to 1961 on the site that was largely destroyed in the Second World War, based on plans by architect Walter Prutscher .

The church is a simple hall building with a gable front and a side bell tower. The high church space with a flat ceiling under a gable roof with a curved organ gallery has a choir niche. The wooden crucifix and the tabernacle are by the sculptor Oskar E. Höfinger .
