Due to danger of collapse, the tower was demolished in 1975. What remains is a covered stump. In 1989, the church ruins were listed as historical monuments. Since 1997, services and concerts have been held there again. The surviving clockwork is back in operation, including the smallest and oldest of the Wachau bells dating back to 1465.
