history

Around 1300 there was a vicariate in Niederleis and in 1560 the parish Niederleis was first mentioned in a document. Instead of the Gothic parish church "Maria im Felde", which burned down in 1808, today's church was built between 1810 and 1812. In 1814 the church was consecrated by Prince Archbishop Sigismund Anton von Hohenwart . In 2010 the parish celebrated the 875th anniversary of its foundation. At the same time, the interior renovation was completed. In 2013 the square in front of the parish church was redesigned and paved.

In the frame of the former side altar painting is a crucifix from the 19th century. It is flanked by side console figures of St. John and St. Mary .

The pulpit with reliefs dates from the first quarter of the 19th century. The oil painting "Assumption of Mary" was the former high altar painting and was painted at the beginning of the 19th century.
