The current church was built in 1741 and dedicated to Saint Anne. The Augsburg cathedral chapter bore the costs for the construction. The church looks very simple on the outside, but the interior is all the more surprising. Inside you will find a dome with illusion painting, which gives the impression of a crossing. The furnishings are from the time of construction. The carvings on the choir stalls, the gallery, the confessionals and the choir screens are particularly valuable. The Lords of Leonrodt found their final resting place here.
