Around 750 years ago, there was already a castle church in Puchheim dedicated to St George. This church was certainly smaller than today's St George's Church. After the miraculous image of the "Mother of Perpetual Help" was placed on the side altar of St George's Church in 1870, the church was bursting at the seams. This miraculous image became a landmark of Puchheim. On 21 June 1874, the first solemn procession with the miraculous image was held. The new pilgrimage church was largely built in the Renaissance style. The church looks exactly the same to this day.
