The parish’s initial seat was St. Ruprecht am Moos.Landskron’s modern parish building was erected from 1955 to 1969, and the parish seat was relocated here in 1956.

The parish was renamed Maria Landskron from St. Ruprecht am Moos in 1984.

The great northern hall building is a concrete frame structure with a southwest tower.Daniel Moser produced the window glass, which was considerably reduced in form, in 1998. The window with the theme of Maria, the knot-loosing woman, is stunning.
