The stately patronage parish was founded in the first half of the 13th century. The church was mentioned in a document in 1274. From 1334 to 1782 the parish church of the Kartause Gaming was incorporated. The previous building was largely displaced by a new building and consecrated in 1510. In 1712 the Marienkapelle was built and the church was made Baroque. In 1984/1985 there was a restoration.

The late Gothic hall church under a steep gable roof, which is hipped in the east over the retracted choir, shows itself on the outside in an economical design and with baroque arched windows in an unstructured front. In the southern nave wall is a late Gothic profiled pointed arch portal. The three-year end of the choir emerges between extensions. The sacristy as the northern choir annex is gable, has three storeys, is marked 1510 and has cloister lattice windows and lattice windows from the 17th to 19th centuries and a late Gothic skylight niche. The southern choir annex is the Marienkapelle under a towed roof. The tower, which is essentially Gothic, is presented on the west facade and tapers over cornice steps. The tower was designed in a post-classical style with plaster strips in 1843 and received lunette skylights on the portal and the acoustic windows and a flat tent roof over a console cornice. The tower in the attic has a three-pass window from the 14th century. A stone figure of Pietà around 1410/1420 stands above the south entrance. A crucifix on the Lady Chapel is from the second quarter of the 16th century. Josef Schagerl senior (1932) created a crucifix in the southern corner of the tower . On the north wall of the nave is a cast iron grave slab for Marie Katharine Graf from 1830.

The nave hall comprises three naves and four bays. The highly plastic, small-area and multi-penetrated mesh rib vault with perforations rests on slender, grooved pillars with baroque composite capitals or consoles in combination with various figurations. In the wider central nave, the net ribs show rounded vertex squares. In the aisles, the net ribs are arranged like a star. The hall-wide west gallery with a south-facing staircase from 1629 is vaulted with a lancet barrel and a groin vault. The late Gothic recessed profiled triumphal arch is wider than the central nave. The two-bay choir with a 3/8 end has a higher net rib vault than the nave, which - stylistically somewhat older - is uniaxially symmetrical and has a larger area and rests on composite capital consoles. The choir has a web frame portal and two oratorio openings from the 17th century in the north wall . In the south wall of the choir is a wide arcade stuccoed with acanthus volutes from 1712 to the Marienkapelle. The Marienkapelle has a stucco field in the mirror vault over composite corner pilasters. The groin vaulted sacristy from the first half of the 17th century has a late Gothic iron plate door with an original lock. The oratory above has a groin vault and the parament chamber above has a flat ceiling. The ribbed vault resting on consoles on the tower ground floor is from the first half of the 15th century.
