The first church, which was probably consecrated soon after the monastery was founded, was probably a Romanesque basilica.
The mighty west transom with a few arched windows and slit openings originates from this church. Next to the pointed-arched main entrance, which is slightly off-axis, the base of the old Romanesque portal can be seen, which also included the two lion heads that served as door knockers. The ridge turret is a later addition. The transept and the adjoining apses in the east also date from the Romanesque period.
In the 14th century, the basilica was converted into a Gothic hall church and vaulted, with the walls of the side aisles being raised in the nave area. In the completely rebuilt choir, the Gothic architectural concept can be seen above all in the fact that the masonry recedes more clearly from the windows than in the nave. The late Gothic crucifixion group made of Baumberg sandstone on the churchyard side of the west transept is remarkable.
