The Pfarrkirche St. Veit, dating from 1630, is amongst Austria’s earliest baroque churches and was designed by Cypriano Bisaino. The building’s earliest part is the lower part of the Gothic tower, dating from the 13th century. The interior has a number of works of note, in particular the marble high altar by Josef Matthias Götz with its altarpiece showing the martyrdom of St. Vitus by Johann Georg Schmidt. The ceiling frescos are by Kremser Schmidt and other frescos were executed by Martino Altomonte and Franz Anton Maulbertsch. There are other fine statues and beautiful altars, many of them dating from the Gothic era.
