The originally Gothic building was demolished between 1724 and 1735 and replaced by a new Baroque building, built by Johann Baptist Canta. The church burned down in 1775, but was soon rebuilt with the help of the builder Franz Anton Glonner (completed in 1779). In 1891 the frescoes were renovated by Carl Gesch. The last interior restoration took place in 1991/92.
