Presumably around 1100 a chapel was donated by the local nobility . A parish of Sainbach is mentioned for the first time in the early 15th century. The Gothic choir was built in the middle of the 15th century; the nave of the hall church is from the 18th century and was extended in 1883. 1843 were altars and the organ re- taken . Several restorations also took place later.
