The late-Baroque hall church St. Gangolf replaced an earlier one, St. Gangolf and St. Sebastian, documented for 1182.
It was built in 1751-3 by local Oberamtmann Johann Franz Wolfgang Damian von Ostein and his brother and Archbishop, Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein.
The design was based on plans by Anselm Franz von Ritter zu Groenesteyn, building work was supervised by his apprentice Alexander Jakob Schmidt.
The design was inspired by St. Peter's Church at Mainz.
The interior reflects Rococo style and the onset of the Neoclassical style.
Ceiling frescoes by Johannes Zick show the lives of St. Gangolf (Gangulphus) and Saint Sebastian as well as King David as the "father" of Solomon's Temple.
Oil paintings in the choir by Konrad Huber depict the legendary beginnings of Amorbach.
The marble high altar was made by Georg Schrantz, while Josef Keilwerth added the four statues.
The cross by J.B. Berg dates from 1808.
The side altars (1720) were originally used in the predecessor building.
The organ also dates from 1720, but was located at Neustadt am Main Abbey until 1806, when it was bought by the Amorbach parish.
The church has two pulpits, made from stucco by Antonio Rossi.

St. Gangolf is the Catholic parish church of Amorbach.
