history

The church is mentioned for the first time in 899 in an exchange certificate from Countess Irmenburc with the Kastulus monastery in Moosburg. The current church dates from around 1100 in its oldest part. Around 1500, the then Wallace castle owner , Stephan von Rohrbach, had built a somewhat lower chapel as a crypt church for himself and his descendants in the Gothic style. In 1699, Count Hans Georg von Seyboldsdorf made it the same height as the north wall of the church and extended the entire structure by around four meters. The baroque tower was built in 1711 under Pastor Franz Hölderich. Later, probably when the tower was built, the sacristy and probably the All Souls Chapel were added.
In the 17th century, the Counts of Seyboldsdorf built the crypt under the Sebastianigang, in which Baroness von Ostini was the last to find her resting place in 1868.
