"Stadtpfarrkirche St. Vitus

Die Kirche liegt am nordöstlich vorspringenden Abhang des Festungsberges (Foto 1). Der heutige Bau wurde spätestens 1420 abgeschlossen, vermutlich war die Stadterhebung im Jahr 1393 Anlass gewesen, das bestehende Gotteshaus zu erneuern. Erst knapp 100 Jahre später wurde das Langhaus errichtet. In der Zeit nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg, wurde die Kirche barockisiert (1660/61). 1840 entschloss man sich aufgrund der rasch wachsenden Bevölkerung zu einer Erweiterung der Kirche um ein Joch und zum Ersatz der barocken Einrichtung durch eine klassizistische. Im Rahmen einer Restaurierung im Jahre 1959 (Foto 2) erhielt das Gotteshaus weitgehend sein ursprüngliches Aussehen wieder. 1991 fand die letzte umfangreiche Restaurierung statt.
