The church was first mentioned in a document in 823. It is the oldest attested church in the district alongside the Mondsee collegiate church . It is first mentioned as a parish church in 1146/47.

Building description
The two-bay Gothic choir , built around 1400, has a single nave and a 5/8 end . The two-aisled and four-bay nave was built from 1450 to 1476 using older components. The vault is supported by three octagonal columns. The gallery has four axes. At the beginning of the 16th century the mighty west tower, which never reached its intended height, was added. The slender tower was to be razed and the resulting gap closed by extending the nave to the mighty west tower. However, due to economic hardship and the tremors of the Reformation , this could not be realized. The sacristy was built at the beginning of the 18th century.
Church furnishings
The neo-Gothic high altar dates from 1869. In its center there is a statue of Our Lady, which was created around 1430/40. The choir stalls are baroque and "dated" 1721. The left side altar from 1730 was restored by Jakob Adlhart , converted into a Leonhardial tariff and installed in its current location in 1934. The right neo-baroque side altar dates from 1935 and was created by Jakob Adlhart as a counterpart to the left. A votive picture from 1689, donated by the citizen Jakob Reisner, hangs above the south portal .
Under the gallery is the “Perkheimer Chapel” from 1461 on the north side and the “Englgruftkapelle” with the neo-Gothic Barbara altar from 1891 on the south side. There are numerous tombstones of the Engl family in the chapel.
The organ with 28 registers and 1580 pipes comes from the workshop of the Bludenz organ builder Christoph Enzenhofer and was inaugurated on June 13, 2010.
There are four bells in the bell chamber in the west tower. A 1,600 kg and a 1,400 kg bell are from the Salzburg bell founder Hans Reicher from 1495. A 350 kg bell from the St. Florian bell foundry is from 1959. A 657 kg bell is from the Grassmayr bell foundry .
