The 
former Augustinian Canons' collegiate monastery of 1418 was founded as a hospital in 1190. The monastery was closed in 1807.
The former collegiate church, now parish church, was rebuilt in 1714–1736 in Baroque style probably by Johann Michael Prunner.
The interior decoration includes masterpieces from important Austrian artists: frescoes (1737–40) by Bartolomeo Altomonte, paintings by Martin Johann Schmidt
(Kremser Schmidt), the high altar (1769) by Veit Königer.
The monastery buildings were built in 1642–1700 and today serve as the parish house.
