The oldest documented entry is from the year 1320 - in the year of it's consecration. But it existed allready before that time.
In a document of the year 1344, the church of St. Nicholas was legitimated to collect a toll of each salt ship passing the village. In 1769, the old church was torn down and a new building was erected.

As Emperor Franz Josef spent all summer here from 1854 on, the Nicholas Church got the name 'Hofpfarrkirche' - Court Parish church.
The church as a building shows the simplified forms of classicism. The tower of the old church from the Gothic period remained. A Roman gravestone is walled in the southern side. The paintings and frescos were done by the church painter Georg Mader. The images are characterisatical for the art of the late 19th Century.

The altar paintings are from the Viennese painter Leopold Kuppelwieser.
The organ was built in 1908/10 by Matthew Mauracher and is of considerable cultural and art historical significance.
