After the Gothic predecessor of the current parish church had become dilapidated and too small, the foundation stone for the new church was laid in 1717 by the Ettal abbot Placidus Seitz. The nave was built between 1717 and 1721, followed by the choir in 1725-27. The base of the Gothic tower was raised between 1730 and 1732. The architect is unknown. The church was consecrated on May 6, 1734 by the Augsburg auxiliary bishop Sigismund Mayr. In 1736 the building was elevated to a parish church.

From the outside rather unimpressive but inside a magnificent church, which was built from 1717 to 1732. The impressive late Baroque interior was created over decades, the high altar was donated in 1771 by the Ettal Monastery. As the church stands on a hill, it is visible from afar, with the 50 -meter-high church tower particularly striking.
