Mountain Church (Stoob)
The Roman Catholic Stoober Bergkirche stands in the middle to the east of the long street village of Stoob in Burgenland on a hill in a dominant position.
history
To the east of the village there was a Roman settlement on the Gaberlingbach. A fortified place with a tower is assumed as a precursor at the site of the church. The small church was built in the 13th century and dedicated to the patronage of John the Baptist .
In the years 1956 to 1959 a new parish church was built in the village away from the main street . A bell from the mountain church with the year 1535 was transferred there.
description
The mountain church is a Romanesque rectangular building without a church tower with a semicircular apse and exposed wooden ceiling. The three-axis west gallery has a wooden parapet.
