The Church of St. Simon and Jude Thaddäus is the city parish church of parish churches. Church patrons are the apostles Simon and Jude Thaddäus. The building is a listed building.
The church was originally built as a late Gothic church on a cone of rubble. The oldest parts of the church can be traced back to a single-nave Romanesque building. The building was in the 13./14. Century expanded to three aisles. Around 1500 it was converted into today's church, the core of which is still in the late Gothic style. A fire in 1648 destroyed the south tower, which was not restored.In the years 1971–1973 the church was expanded for liturgical and demographic reasons and was given its present form. The old choir was demolished and replaced by a modern one. With the extension, a new high chancel was created, overlaid with a sixfold folded wooden roof structure and thus reached a height of 22 meters.
With a height of 67 m, the north tower is the tallest structure in the city of Pfarrkirchen, and one of the tallest church buildings in the Diocese of Passau.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadtpfarrkirche_St._Simon_und_Judas_Thadd%C3%A4us
