The town and the parish church were founded by the Count of Chiemgau, Guntherius. The consecration of the church by the Holy Bishop Virgil from Salzburg in 749 is documented.
The church was renovated from 1995 to 1999, and the Gothic version of the room shell with artistic tendril painting (around 1450), which is rare in Upper Bavaria, was restored.

Particularly worth seeing are:
- The altarpiece “Ascension of St. Stephen” by Carl Rudholzer (1863)
- The rare painting cycle “The 7 Sacraments” (1686) on the gallery parapet
- The impressive Stations of the Cross in the Nazarene style
- The two side altars, the Mary altar and the 14 Holy Helpers altar with the figure of Bishop Virgil
- The 4 large figures of saints on the sides of the church
- The fresco “Assumption of St. Stephen” (17th century) in the entrance hall with the 4 evangelists
- The All Souls Chapel, also called the Chapel of the Dead or Brotherhood, with the Pieta picture by Nikolaus Streicher (1778).
- The colorful glass windows showing St. Stephen before the High Council and during the stoning.

The Church of St. Stephen is definitely worth a visit!
