history
The first monastery church was destroyed around 1230 when the entire monastery burned down. The successor building was rebuilt in the baroque style in 1688 . After the secularization of the monastery, the abbey church was rededicated as a parish church in 1803. Between 1864 and 1875 the church was rebuilt in the Romanesque style. After the church burned down again in 1895, it was rebuilt in the neo-baroque style according to plans by Friedrich von Thiersch from 1899 to 1903, slightly shifted to the north. The formerly free-standing north-west tower from the 13th century was integrated as the west tower.
