history

The 13th century is assumed to be the foundation of the parish. A pastor is named for 1340 in the former chapel of the Perlmooser Hof. This chapel is an independent building away from the parish church.

During the interior renovation of the parish church from 1978, an easted Romanesque-Gothic predecessor building was discovered in the course of an emergency excavation, whereby the architectural parts from several building phases were walled up in the baroque foundations and also contained Roman spoilage.

The baroque hall church with a retracted single-bay choir with a 3/6 end and low extensions on the south-western nave wall under a gable roof has simple round arched windows with painted frames. The gable facade structured with pilasters and with niche statues hll. In 1798 the builder Georg Hammer presented a mighty tower with corner pilasters, basket-like sound windows, clock gables and a high lamp bulb to Peter and Paul. The additions include the inner sacristy, built after 1638, with a spear cap barrel and access to the choir, the outer sacristy, built around 1839 with groin vault and access to the nave, and a Gothic former basement tower with strong walls and hewn local stones and pointed-arched window walls and access to the nave. After 1761 the former outer tower portal received a spear cap barrel and became a Holy Sepulcher chapel. The six-bay long house with a needle cap barrel was built from the 1st to the 4th yoke around 1638 by master builder Peter Spey and was extended by the 5th and 6th yokes after a fire after 1761. It is remarkable that the nave walls at the 2nd yoke are hollowed out like a niche. The cross-vaulted west gallery around 1761 on pilasters and two columns shows a double-headed eagle from 1904 on the swinging wooden parapet and has wooden glazed oratorios on the side of the nave walls. The stained glass in the nave shows scenes from the life of St. Martin, at the organ St. Cäcilia, in the choir the Sacred Heart, Maria Immaculata and the Holy Family.
