The Hafnerbach parish church, dedicated to Saint Zeno, is located in the market town of Hafnerbach. It was first mentioned in a document in 1248, when it was a branch church of St. Pölten. In 1260 it was elevated to an independent parish.

The architecture of the church combines various styles. The choir is Gothic and has a cross-ribbed vault, while the nave is Baroque with a mirrored ceiling. Particularly noteworthy are the artistic stucco work from 1698 and the ceiling frescoes, which show scenes from the life of Saint Zeno.

In 1248 the church was mentioned in documents as a branch of St. Pölten and in 1260 it was elevated to a parish church. In 1361 the church became a sovereign church through an exchange. In 1529 the Turks caused damage. In 1633 the church belonged to the Hohenegg lordship. Since 1675 the church has served as the burial place of the Lords of Hohenegg and since 1845 as the burial place of the Montecuccoli family.

The Romanesque church from the 13th century with a nave and choir has a sacristy added to the southwest of the choir, which was probably originally a separate building (as a charnel house or round church with an apse) on a horseshoe-shaped floor plan. The tower in the north was built around 1400. After the side entrances to the nave were bricked up, a vestibule was added to the tower around 1600, which today serves as the entrance to the organ gallery. The sacristy with oratory northeast of the choir was added at the end of the 17th century.
