The Pfarrkirche St. Michael is the parish church of Sonthofen. The church is an impressive neo-baroque building. The church was first mentioned in the year 1449. However, archaeological findings indicate a much older age. In 1488, the church was renewed towards the west. In its present state Pfarrkirche St. Michael was built in 1738-40.

After a severe bombing raid during World War II, the church was renewed. This last restoration was not completed until 1954 and the magnificent ceiling paintings were not finished until as late as 1991.
