The parish church in honor of St. George was built around 1510, and the Gottesacker chapel with a winged altar was built at the same time. Around 1540 the Wolfsteiners, who had meanwhile accepted the new confession, had the Reformation carried out in Pyrbaum; This was completed in 1561 and the last Catholics left the town. In the Thirty Years' War, the municipal area was badly affected.

The hall church, built in 1519 by the Wolfsteins and burnt down to its outer walls in 1926, was rebuilt in 1927. It consists of a nave supported by buttresses and a choir in the east, closed on three sides and also supported by buttresses, which is only recessed on the south side. Both are made of ashlar masonry, to which a choir flank tower is attached, the lower floors of which, dating from the 14th century, are supported by a buttress, and the upper floors are plastered and fitted with corner stones. The top, recessed floor above a viewing platform houses the tower clock. An onion dome sits on top of it. The portal is in a risalit on the north side of the nave.
