The church was built in 1929 as a modern hall church according to the plans of the Linz cathedral builder Matthäus Schlager . The extensions from 1949 to 1951 with the vestibule, Marienkapelle and south tower were made according to the plans of the architect Josef Friedl . In 1958 the choir and sacristy were being built.
The parish was founded in 1932. In 1953 the bells were consecrated.
architecture
The exterior of the church shows an undivided church building with arched windows under a gable roof. The slightly higher rectangular choir has high concrete slit windows with transverse walls and glass tile sheets. On the left side, the south front forms the presented tower under a tent roof with a three-part flat bay window in the lower area and on the right side the two-storey vestibule with a simple wide rectangular portal and above it with a twin arched window. The Lady Chapel and the sacristy are attached to the side.
The interior of the church shows a hall under a flat ceiling, the walls are structured over a surrounding plinth with plaster strips. The organ gallery stands on chamfered rectangular supports. The elevated, recessed rectangular choir under a wooden beam ceiling has a strong, laterally guided light guide. The east-side rectangular Marienkapelle acts as a transept-like space extension.
The mural Holy Family on the choir wall was painted by Robert Herfert in 1961. In 1997 the church windows were designed by Carla Kamenik with the theme of the seven days of creation ; in 2004 she redesigned the chancel .
