A church was mentioned in a document around 1112. The Gothic hall church was probably built by master Oswald Bürkel and consecrated in 1453 and is a structural further development of the nave of the Braunau hospital church. The tower dates from 1598 and was expanded from 1710 to 1716 with the master builder Thomas Vilzkotter from Braunau.
architecture
The Gothic, two-aisled, four - and - a - half - bay hall church has a ribbed vault with round keystones and a retracted two-bay, ribbed choir with a three-eighth end. The buttresses are stepped. The three-axis west gallery is vaulted with cross ribs. The mighty stepped tower was continued on eight sides and wears an onion helmet. The north portal and south portal have star-rib vaulted vestibules. The portal doors have Gothic fittings. Next to the southern vestibule is the former ossuary with a ribbed vault that is now used as a Lourdes chapel.
