West of the town was a completely destroyed by the Danube expansion in the 20th century Roman fortlet with an associated camp village ( Vicus ) , which together with the fort Künzing and the larger camps in Straubing and Passau the Danube limes should secure and shipping.

Archaeological evidence of a section fortification from the early Middle Ages from the 9th or 10th century with a small aisle church could also be proven at this point.

In the later Middle Ages Steinkirchen was the seat of a Hofmark .

The artist Gerhard Brauße has set up his studio in the former schoolhouse in Steinkirchen.
