Hiking

The place is first mentioned in a document in 1170[2] as the property of the Lords of Achau, ministerial officials of the Babenbergs. The parish church was founded in the 12th century as a patronage church of the Babenbergs. Various owner families of the Achau dominion followed, such as the Haiden and the Moser von Ebreichsdorf. In 1421, a pastor named Johann Simphonista is mentioned for the first time.

Most of the Romanesque church was destroyed in 1529. A Romanesque core has been preserved in today's church. In 1660 the presbytery was added with a 5/8 end and the church was expanded to include a sacristy. The west tower was rebuilt in 1738 and given a baroque spire, after 1945 it was given a tent roof. The last restoration work was carried out in 1968, 1983 and 2001–2003.
