A towerless Carolingian hall church, probably from the 9th century, could be detected during the archaeological investigations in 2011. In 1109 a monastery was founded in the Wolfsbach parish area, and in 1112 the Benedictine monastery in Seitenstetten was founded. The massive west tower was built in the 15th century, and today's sanctuary was consecrated in 1456. 1486 there was a fire in the church, probably in the course of the war of Matthias Corvinus. Finally, around 1500, the nave was expanded into a late Gothic hall. In 1517 the Seitenstetten monastery was incorporated into the parish. Structurally, the church was baroque in the 18th century and re-gothicized from 1908 to 1909 by Matthäus Schlager.
