    The late Gothic parish church was built around 1500 and is dedicated to Saint Stephen. The nave consists of a single-nave, five-bay nave whose ribbed vault is formed from octagonal stars. On the north side of the nave is a large oil painting depicting the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Mary and the apostles at Pentecost in Jerusalem.
    The main focus in the church is the richly decorated high altar, which is in the presbytery. The high altar, the two side altars and the pulpit were most likely made in 1687. On the south side of the nave is the Marienaltar, which depicts Mary with the baby Jesus. On the north side of the nave is the Michaelmas altar, which shows Archangel Michael with a flaming sword.
    The pulpit is also very interesting. It shows the evangelists Matthew, Luke, Mark and John on the parapet. In an extension to the nave you will find the Marienkapelle, in which there is a Gothic baptismal font. The Bavarian sculptor Kupka created the larger-than-life Madonna and Child.

      The Weibern parish church in the Hausruck district, dedicated to Saint Stephen, was built around 1500 in the late Gothic style.


      A wooden church that could have been consecrated to St. Lawrence is probably the predecessor of this parish church. Since Weibern is mentioned as a "vivarium" (pond) in documents as early as 785, the possibility of this cannot be dismissed out of hand.
