history
The church was mentioned in a document in 1150. From 1400 to 1785 Eitzing was a branch of the parish church Aurolzmünster . With the court decree of Emperor Joseph II on March 6, 1784, Eitzing became an independent parish. Pope Pius IX gave the church a perfect indulgence for the feast of the Assumption. The pilgrimage of the Ried people goes back to a vow on the occasion of a fire in Ried im Innkreis in 1704. The mortuary chapel was completely restored in 1988/89.
