The parish church of St. Peter and Paul is also called "Cathedral of the Bavarian Forest" or "Bavarian Forest Cathedral" because of its size (64 m length, 34 m width, 67 m tower height) and is one of the largest sacred buildings in the Diocese of Passau . It was built in the neo-Gothic style from 1857 to 1861 according to plans by Leonhard Schmidtner (1800–1873) by the builder Andreas Schwarzenberger (1816–1877) from Passau .

From 1945 to 1948, the war-related restoration was carried out while retaining the original masonry.
