The Baroque Pfarrkirche St. Andrä an der Traisen was built between 1725 and 1729. The religious establishment dates from much earlier as there was a chapel dedicated to the saint located here as far back as 1079. There was a monastery here which survived for six hundred years despite active opposition from the Bishops of Passau. The wonderful ceiling frescos and high altar, depicting King David, St. Augustine, Christ with Andrew and Peter, the Resurrection and the Holy Spirit, are by the Baroque master Paul Troger.
