The current church building dates from around 1500 and has largely been preserved. 1670 was next to the new building of the onion turret and the stem through the Erdinger repaired and the side altars master mason Hans Kogler and carried out building repairs. The choir stalls are from 1679. A side altar was set up in 1750 by the Erdinger carpenter Martin Kirscher, which was taken by Johann Michael Rieder, also from Erding. The carvings were by Johann Michael Hierndle. In 1753 a pulpit was built, which was painted by the Buchbacher Joseph Doni Mezole. Both the side altar and the pulpit are no longer preserved. The original church patron was probably St. Martin , who is now a secondary patron. Saint Ulrich has been the patron saint of the church since the 17th century , today alongside Saint Korbinian .
