history
In 1354 there was an own chaplain foundation, which was renewed in 1395. The initial patronage was Virgil von Salzburg and was changed to the Assumption in 1618.
The nave was still under construction in 1314. The choir was built around 1417. The church suffered fires in 1417, 1616, 1781 and 1865 with various changes and alterations. In 1616 the construction management lay with the cathedral builder Santino Solari . After the fire in 1865, it was remodeled with a new consecration in 1872. In the third quarter of the 19th century, the tower on the top floors was renewed according to the plans of the architect Josef Weßicken and completed in 1879.
