The fortified church is a Gothic choir tower church. It was rebuilt in the 18th century and even elaborately restored in 2012 and 2013.

The church and the castle are the most striking buildings in Pilsach, although the castle cannot be seen in summer because of the deciduous trees.

Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul

Pilsach belonged to the original parish of Dietkirchen. The Pilsach Chapel was mentioned as early as 1323 in the “libertestamentorum” of the Kastl monastery. The current parish church, which is dedicated to the princes of the apostles

St. Peter and St. Paul, was built in the 14th century. In the following times, the church, whose Gothic architectural style was preserved, was often rebuilt and redecorated.

The Gothic hall church was redesigned in the 18th/19th century. It consists of a nave, which is covered with a gable roof and was extended to the west in 1926, and a choir tower on a square floor plan in the east, which is covered with an eight-sided curved roof. Its top floor houses the tower clock and the bell cage, in which five church bells hang.

The interior of the nave is covered with a coved ceiling, that of the choir with a barrel vault. The church furnishings include a neo-baroque high altar, on whose altarpiece Peter and Paul are depicted, the two princes of the apostles are framed by St. Thomas (left) and St. Andrew.

The left side altar is dedicated to St. Mary, with Mary's parents, St. Joachim and St. Anne standing at her side.

The right side altar is dedicated to the plague saint Sebastian, with St. Joseph (left) and St. James the Younger standing at his side.

The organ on the gallery was built in 1999 by Mathis Orgelbau.
