The Gottsdorf Parish Church, dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul, is a late Gothic church with an early Gothic core and dominates the townscape of Gottsdorf an der Donau. Its origins date back to the 12th century, and it was first documented in 1268. After several renovations and consecrations in the 15th century, it acquired its present appearance with a Baroque-style west tower and characteristic onion dome. The choir and sacristy still feature Gothic elements such as pointed arch windows and cross-ribbed vaults. The high altar dates from the 16th century and was erected around 1710; the altarpiece by Paul Troger (around 1741/42) depicts the farewell of the princely apostles Peter and Paul. The interior was restored in the 1950s, carefully preserving the historic structure and furnishings.
