The old parish church having become too small, the municipality decided, in 1849, to erect a new building in the centre of the village. The first stone was not laid until 1864, on the site of a beautiful farmhouse, which was built a little further up the road.
This neo-gothic church was designed by the architect Ringeisen, who built it between 1864 and 1866. It consists of a front bell tower, a vaulted nave flanked by side aisles and a polygonal choir. Its large dimensions earned it the nickname "Cathedral of the Ried". The frescoes and paintings were restored in 2009.
Glass arrangement allowing the observation of the interior of the church and its frescoes. (from Easter to mid-September, every day)
