Between 1874 and 1880, a major renovation and redesign of the church's interior took place. The completion of the extensive renovation was celebrated on the emperor's 50th birthday on August 18, 1880. The organ, built in 1887, was expanded on the emperor's 80th birthday (1910). It is still one of the largest organs in Austria today and the second largest organ in Upper Austria.[2]

The dimensions of the Bad Ischl parish church are: total length 52 meters, width 22 meters, dome height 20 meters, capacity for 3,000 people, tower height 72 meters.

The huge black double-headed eagle and the Latin inscription above the main portal (translated into German: "From the piety and generosity of the empress") give a reference to the major financier, Empress Maria Theresa.[4]
