history

At the same location as today's parish church was an old, smaller church, which was built around 1407. Today nothing is left of this. The last remnant, which was used as a sacristy, was demolished in 1964-67 during the expansion and renovation of the current church. The extension went in the direction of the high altar, the sacristy, the confessional chamber and the side chapel were added.

The tower, the shape dates from 1609, was first placed above the high altar of the old church. During the construction of today's church, it was turned around, from the high altar backwards, placed above the choir of today's church.

The current church dates from 1767 and was built under Prince Nikolaus I Esterházy de Galántha after it was looted and burned down in 1707 during the Kuruc invasion.

On September 1, 2016, the parish moved from the Lanzenkirchen deanery to the Kirchschlag deanery.
