Together with the Badhaus, the Brunnenhaus, the Gnadenkapelle and the Steinschnitterkapelle ...

... the church forms the old centre of Brunnenthal, which was never able to develop properly due to its location and ownership. Pilgrims coming from Schärding are greeted by the upper storeys of the 46 metre high tower as soon as they reach Haraberg, and in fine weather the gilded Madonna crowning the tower looks out over the countryside. This Madonna is the work of Matthäus Kuttenmüller from Schärding (1668).

For hikers following the old Passau pilgrimage route, who first have to descend deep into the Doblbach valley, the church appears to be situated on a mountain. In fact, the church was built near the source on an artificially levelled site in a "very wild Dobl or ditch". The west tower, through whose portal we enter the interior of the church, appears mighty to the observer.

In the niches on the outside of the tower are figures of the Man of Sorrows, the Crucified and the Risen Christ. Christoph Zugalli - from the famous Graubünden family of architects - designed the vaulted room with cross vaults in 1667/68.
