In 1633, the parish of Hohenzell with the branch churches Pattigham and St. Thomas in the Eberschwang deanery is mentioned in a Passau register . In 1852 the parish was established.

Since the founding of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place was Bavarian until 1779 and came to Austria after the Treaty of Teschen with the Innviertel (then 'Innbaiern'). Briefly Bavarian again during the Napoleonic Wars , since 1814 it has finally belonged to Upper Austria.

Population development

Due to the lack of industrial and trading companies and apart from a few small businesses, the population is forced to commute and take jobs primarily in Ried or in the surrounding communities.

Pattigham Parish Church

• Pattigham Parish Church : The church is a late Gothic single-nave sacred building with a three-bay choir. The baroque high altar comes from the workshop of Thomas Schwanthaler . This was originally built for the pilgrimage church of St. Thomas around 1665/70 and transferred to the Laurentius church in the course of the Josephine reforms .
• The pilgrimage church of St. Thomas was built in the 12th century at the foot of the "Badleithen" - popularly known as the Bründl chapel. Due to the large influx of pilgrims, a spacious pilgrimage church was built in the 15th century (branch church of the mother parish of Hohenzell). In order to get an heir to the throne, Elector Ferdinand Maria from Bavaria and his wife Henriette Adelheid from Savoy donated the Thomas Altar around 1660. In 1785, as a result of the reforms of Emperor Joseph II , the church was deemed superfluous, closed and demolished in 1787. The altar was transferred to Pattigham Parish Church.
