Tips
A church was documented in 1200/1208. The parish was documented in 1250/1260 and belonged to the Diocese of Passau until 1784.The church's Romanesque predecessor stood in the area of the present-day central nave of the nave. The Viennese cathedral master builder Laurenz Spenning was commissioned to vault the late Gothic church in 1466. Probably at the initiative of Hans Geyer von Osterburg, the multi-story gate tower of the former Ybbsburg Castle was converted into a choir. Until 1771, the cemetery was located south of the church. The church was restored externally in 1992 and internally in 1997 (Wikipedia).
