Some elements had been overbuilt afterwards in Baroque or Classic style.

The church is consecrated to the Archangel Michael and is supervised since 1923 by the Society of the Divine Saviour.

St. Michael's Church was in addition to St. Augustin the second court-parish of the Habsburgs for a long time.
