In 1344 there was a chaplain foundation from Chunrats von Görtschach, which also included the construction of the south aisle. The parish had been sovereign since the 15th century. In the first quarter of the 16th century, the nave of the nave was vaulted. In 1536 the sacristy was added. The north aisle was added in the fourth quarter of the 16th century, with the presbytery being a Gothic charnel house. Around 1725/1735, the church was partially redesigned in Baroque style under Pastor Leopold Sommerer. 1962 to 1968 was a restoration.
