history

Sketch by the architects Schöch and Kornberger for the planned, but not executed, renovation in 1901

With the year 1266 a pastor can be proven and with the year 1401 a church is notarized. After a fire, the church was enlarged and redesigned in baroque style between 1669 and 1670. In the years 1751 to 1753 a new building was built according to the plans of Kaspar Koller. In the years 1839 to 1840, today's new building was carried out again according to plans by Martin von Kink and Weihe in 1857. From 1967 to 1969, the interior was restored and redesigned under the direction of architect Emil Steffan .

The cemetery, which was originally around the church, was rebuilt in 1842 when the church was being rebuilt about 300 meters as the crow flies east of the town hall, where it still exists today. The previous "old" cemetery was abandoned and partially planted with trees and is now part of the so-called Martinspark . In 1854 a mission cross was erected by the pastor at the old cemetery.
