The present-day parish area initially belonged to the parish of Bromberg, from 1200 to Edlitz, and from 1250 to Krumbach, before becoming its own parish around 1320. However, as early as around 1120, the first church building in the Romanesque style was erected on the present site. The structure also served as the first part of a three-part defensive system, which consisted of the fortified house (the present-day rectory), an upstream farmstead to the north, and a rampart system. In 1320, additions were made (chancel and choir chapel, today the sacristy) in the early Gothic style. In the 15th century, the defensive capabilities of the church were further enhanced by the construction of a defensive wall around the cemetery surrounding the church, and a "Pechnase" (a defensive projection). Furthermore, a defensive storey was built above the nave, possibly with large parts of the nave itself being rebuilt. A well is also located inside the church.

Even when it's busy, in St. Wolfgang people take the time for a "little chat". The cooking and baking are absolutely wonderful, and the prompt and friendly service also leaves nothing to be desired. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

During a walk through the Rosengarten Pitten, you stroll past 2,600 rose bushes of 100 different species. Rose arches with stone benches envelop visitors in unmistakable fragrances.
