History and architecture
The church of the original parish belonging to Salzburg , located on a hill, was rebuilt in the middle of the 15th century by a builder from Burghausen . In 1693 the Antonius Chapel was added, around 1734 the rectory buildings to the west were redesigned or renewed by Martin Pöllner, and the tower was renewed around 1740 . In 1922 the church was extended to the rectory. A renovation was carried out on the inside in 1970 to 1972 and on the outside in 1993.
The church is a hall building originally with three bays with a three-sided, retracted choir and a north tower with a structured onion dome and a groin vault on the ground floor. On the south side there is a two-storey extension with an oratory and the Antonius chapel, to the west of it an octagonal stair tower with a flat onion dome . Next to the south entrance is an image of Wiesheiland from the second half of the 18th century.
Inside the church is closed by a barrel vault with stitch caps over wall templates. The southern nave wall is open to the Antonius Chapel through arcades . The interior is characterized by a rich stucco decoration with cartouches , grid fields, bandwork as well as leaf motifs and flower garlands, which was executed in 1734 by the Wessobrunn artist Engelmund Landes.

The side figures represent the weather saints John and Paul , in the excerpt John the Baptist and the Apostle Bartholomew .
