Die Kirche des seit 1315 bestehenden Stadtspitals wurde 1700/01 nach Plänen von Johann Martin Gumpp dem Älteren anstelle eines gotischen Vorgängerbaus errichtet. Die Fassade ist durch Sockel, Pilaster, Gebälk und zwei barocke Portale mit ionischen Säulen und gesprengten Giebeln gestaltet. Das Innere ist durch reiche Akanthusstuckaturen von 1701–1704 geprägt. Die Deckenfresken wurden nach Bombenschäden des Zweiten Weltkriegs 1962 von Hans Andre neu gemalt.
