history
The forerunner chapel is said to have been extended to a church in 1122. The church was named as a pastoral church in 1639. Partly due to difficulties with the hillside, construction work took place from 1636 to 1639, 1659, 1673, 1699. 1706 was a church consecration. From 1720 to 1736 a church was built according to the plans of Oswald Stuelebmer and closed in 1858. In 1866 the foundation stone was laid for a new church according to the plans of district engineer Pieschel. Jakob Ceconi was responsible for the construction . The church was consecrated in 1876. The church was renovated from 1953 to 1954 and in 1974.
The designation as Preimskirche is the local German form for Primuskirche and thus refers to the patronage of the brothers and saints Primus and Felizian .
