The St. Ulrich branch church is the Roman Catholic village church in the Ulrichshögl district of Ainring in the Berchtesgadener Land. In its current form, the building was built in the 15th century on the foundations of a previous Romanesque building. The patron saint of the church is the Augsburg Bishop Ulrich.

A church with baptismal and burial rights is documented for the first time in the late 13th century. It is conceivable that it emerged from the chapel of the castle of the influential Högler family, which was first mentioned in 1170. The year of consecration 1030, quoted by various historians, has not been confirmed. The core of the Romanesque building is preserved in the nave of the church.

The church was extended by the local pastor Leonhard Mair before 1470 in the late Gothic style and equipped with a ribbed vault. In the pavement of the choir is a red marble tombstone of this pastor, on which the inscription Anno dni 1470 obiit honorabilis vir dns leonardus Mair plebandus huius eccsie hic sepultus can be read in Gothic minuscule. In 1671 a sacristy was added on the south side, and in 1758 the high tower was rebuilt on the west side with its characteristic onion dome.

The high altar with its curved columns entwined with vine tendrils was created in 1712 by the sculptor Thaddäus Baldauf. It shows the church patron in the altar sheet and on both sides of it the statues of Peter and Paul created by the hand of a Salzburg master. On the left side of the choir there is a painted late Gothic wooden figure depicting Saint Ulrich in episcopal vestments. In his left hand he holds the pedum, in his right the book and a fish.

For Easter, a replica of the Holy Sepulcher is placed on the cartages in the church.
