The present church stands where the monastery once stood. Friedrich von Sparneck, the monastery's founder, was buried here as early as 1477. The church at Sparneck was not very large and probably had a wooden tower on the roof. It only attained its present dimensions in 1695. The old monastery church now forms the choir of the enlarged church. A devastating fire largely destroyed the church on May 5, 1845. Reconstruction dragged on until 1861 and gave the church its present neo-Gothic appearance.
