The previous chapel, St. Radegundis , was lost when the church was built. The Franciscan Church was probably built by the builder Peter von Pusika between 1442 and 1462. The founders Johann Sigismund and Anna von Weißpriach were buried in the church in 1479. Serious damage caused by a Turkish siege in 1532 has been restored. As an elongated building, the church forms the north side of the monastery and can be reached via a covered staircase on the monastery hill. The tall, slender, long, late-Gothic building over six bays ends with a choir the width of the nave. Under a uniform roof, the facade shows high lancet windows, buttresses and water hammer. On the north side, in the middle of the 3rd and 4th yoke, there are two attached side chapels, accessible via large arched openings. The tower facade was built around 1750 as part of an extension and baroque style. The Franciscan monastery affiliated with the Church was abolished in 1783 and Abpfarrung from the parish Lanzenkirchen the church became a parish church.

The Anna Chapel has two floors and shows pointed arch windows in deep reveals on both floors of the facade. The ground floor is vaulted with ribs, the upper floor is vaulted with ribs. The ground floor chapel has an ornamental glass painting by the painter E. Häupl from the 1970s. Under the people's altar is a window to the grave of a Franciscan who was murdered in 1683.
Franciscan monastery Katzelsdorf
The Radegundis Church still stands from the former Franciscan monastery and the Anna Chapel south to east, with the eastern cloister forming the connecting path between the church and the chapel. The cloister with courtyard is still completely in the east and partially in the north and south. The submerged areas of the cloister and the monastery were built over in the 18th century with the Redemptorist monastery Katzelsdorf . The founding of Johann Sigismund and Anna von Weißpriach was handed over to the Viennese Franciscan monastery St. Theobald ob der Laimgrube in 1458 . The monastery was profaned in 1560 and a Protestant school was established in the monastery building in 1573 . In 1593 the monastery went back to the Franciscans, who in 1750 redesigned the church and monastery in Baroque style. In 1783 the monastery was closed.
