The parish church in Ebensfeld is dedicated to the Annunciation. Its history dates back to the 13th century, although Romanesque and Gothic predecessors repeatedly fell victim to destruction. The current Baroque hall church was built around 1700, but proved too small by the end of the 19th century. Between 1911 and 1912, the nave was extended to the west and a new chancel was added, giving the church its current, unusual form. Inside, the 18th-century Baroque furnishings are completely preserved, and the ceiling paintings in the light green coffered vault date from the 1940s. The large fresco of the Assumption of Mary is particularly noteworthy.
