Pfarrkirche St. Tiburtius The late Romanesque basilica was remodelled in Baroque style between 1736 and 1738. It consists of the nave with a central aisle and two side aisles, the square choir with a semi-circular apse to the east, and the church tower on a square base in front of the west wall of the nave, which was extended in 1738 and covered with a pointed helmet in 1865; four bells hang in the tower. The church's nave is spanned by a flat ceiling; in the crossing in front of the choir, it is a cloister vault. Five arcades each separate the nave from the side aisles. The twelve apostles are depicted in paintings above the arcades. The high altar, erected around 1740, is flanked by sculptures of St. Roch of Montpellier and St. Wendelin. The altar panel, also painted by Johann Adam Schöpf, 1.50 meters wide and 2.25 meters high at the apex, depicts the martyrdom of Saint Tiburtius. The painter signed his work in an unusual way, writing the name J.A.Schöpf on the collar of a dog depicted in the lower left of the picture. In the upper part of the high altar, the eye of God is depicted in a triangle within a radiant halo and surrounded by angels. The side altars at the chancel arch were probably created, like the high altar, around 1740. The northern altar contains a carved figure of the Mother of God from the late 15th century, the right altar a statue of St. Sebastian. The altars in the side aisles from around 1765 are works by Mathias Obermayr. The right altar contains an older crucifix, a grieving Mary, and a John, from the first half of the 15th century. On the altar in the left side aisle, on a richly decorated base, stands a Pietà made by Mathias Obermayr from a single piece of lime wood. It is assumed that the Madonna with Child and "Christ at Rest" in the front arcades to the left and right are also works by Mathias Obermayr. The frescoes are by Johann Adam Schöpf; in two ceiling paintings and two wall paintings, they show scenes from the life of Saint Tiburtius, who died a martyr's death in Rome on August 11, 286.

The Catholic parish church of St. Tiburtius is a late Romanesque basilica from the 12th century, which was redesigned in the Baroque style between 1736 and 1738. Particularly worth seeing are the impressive frescoes by Johann Adam Schöpf, which depict scenes from the life of St. Tiburtius of Rome. Unique is the signature of the painter Schöpf on the collar of a dog in the altarpiece.

Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary The first parish register of the diocese, in which Wiesenfelden was mentioned as an independent parish, dates back to 1286. The 15th-century "Gothic" predecessor building had become dilapidated. However, the entire building was not demolished; instead, the choir was skillfully integrated into the new structure by altering the windows and vaulting. The present church was completed in 1764. Wiesenfelden was a very large parish in 1848, with a population of 2,472. The parish also included the curacy of the "Marian pilgrimage site of Heilbrunn" and the "Zinzenzell branch." The altarpiece depicts the Assumption of Mary, in reference to the patron saint (= patronage of a saint over a church). The two side altars formerly depicted Saint Barbara and Saint Wendelin; Since around 1920, the left side altar features figures of the Virgin Mary as Patrona Bavariae, and the image of Archangel Michael with the scales of souls is depicted in the excerpt. The right side altar depicts the figure of St. Sebastian, and the excerpt depicts St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus. The oil painting on the confessional depicts St. Peter, with a life-size cross from the Baroque period above. The front part of the nave is decorated with busts of the four evangelists with their symbols: St. Luke with the bull, St. John with the eagle, St. Mark with the lion, and St. Matthew with the angel. These are Baroque works from the late 17th century. The depictions of the Stations of the Cross are handcrafted oil paintings from the late 17th century. Of the Gothic interior furnishings, only a statue of the Virgin Mary and the figure of St. Sebastian remain.
