history
The church was initially a branch church of the former parish church in today's Gloggnitz Castle and was incorporated into the Formbach Abbey. Payerbach became a separate parish in 1379. In 1446 the church was destroyed and in 1447 it was officially restored and rededicated.
The west and north walls of the nave contain a Romanesque core from the 12th century. The choir and the southern sacristy are from the 14th century. The extension of the nave to the south and the tower were built in the second half of the 15th century, around 1525 the nave was vaulted. In the 18th century an oratorio was added to the southern sacristy. In 1828 a new sacristy with an oratory on the upper floor was added to the north, and a portal porch was added to the west. In 1970 the interior of the church was restored and the neo-Gothic furnishings were removed. In 1973 the outside of the church was restored.
