Shaftlach was first mentioned in 1015. The Holy Cross Church in the village center belonged to the Gmund parish of the Tegernsee monastery until the secularization in 1803 and then became an independent parish. The church was built by the Tegernsee monastery builder Alex Gugler and consecrated on August 4, 1476. The shaft laugh cross is in it.
