With the collegiate church, important artists of the Austrian Baroque created a total work of art full of astonishing harmony. Domenico Antonio Carlone decorated the interior of the church with his calm color scheme and magnificent stucco pilasters. The frescoes by Bartolomeo Altomonte in the presbytery represent a highlight of Baroque church painting in Upper Austria. A sense of art and faith have made our church so wonderful.

North of the church in the so-called "Dechantstöckel" is the treasury of the former Spital Abbey. Documents, vestments and liturgical utensils were kept in it. Particularly valuable sculptures, chasubles and also historically important documents relating to the monastery and the two churches can now be viewed in the treasury.

The crypt under the presbytery of the collegiate church was the burial place of the canons of Spital am Pyhrn. From January 25 to May 15, 1945, the entire gold treasure of the Hungarian National Bank (33,000 kg) was stored here. In 1992 the crypt was restored.
