This church stands (right next to the Lindenhof Roman site) on a very ancient sacred site. In the 8th-9th centuries (700s-800s) a Christian church building was constructed on the site of a Roman Temple of Jupiter (ancient Christian churches in Europe were almost always built on pre-Christian sacred sites). There is absolutely nothing visible remaining of that first building, of course, although archaeological investigation discovered its foundations under the existing choir.
That first church was replaced in the 1000s, and a further church was built in 1230.
What is visible dates largely from the mid-1400s., although the church interior has little indication of that fact other than a few fragments of frescoes which date from between 1300 and 1500. The tower has Europe's largest church clock, dating from 1538 and absolutely huge!
