The parish church of St. Martin in Hopferau combines elements of late Gothic and Baroque architecture. Originally built in 1504 as a castle chapel and dedicated to St. Sebastian, it was expanded between 1886 and 1889 to become the parish church it serves today: the nave was lengthened, a new choir with corner pilasters, and a choir flanking tower with an onion dome were added. The interior includes ceiling frescoes from 1899 depicting St. Martin and St. Sebastian, an altarpiece by Johann Michael Franz, a Pietà by Bartholomäus Steinle, and an organ by Balthasar Andreas Pröbstl from 1888, which was restored in 2010.

The church is a protected architectural monument, an active place of worship in the Seeg parish community, and a worthwhile destination for visitors interested in art, architecture, and regional history.
