Evangelical Church Fischertratten

The Evangelical Church of Fischertratten in the municipality of Malta was built in 1787 as a tolerance prayer house with the help of Count Hieronymus Maria Lodron, Catholic and landlord of Gmünd (cf. Lodron ) . The Protestant parish of Dornbach-Fischertratten was only founded three years later. Lodron's foundation was sufficient to cover the regular payment of the pastor and school teacher in addition to the construction. The parish and school house built next to the church was demolished in 1978.

The church is a small baroque-classical building from 1787. A semicircular apse adjoins the undivided nave . The west facade has a portal aedicle and a curved gable. The campanile next to the church was built in 1985. The Lodron lion crowning the tower and a bell come from the old rectory, the second bell was newly acquired. The music gallery, which stands on pillars, has a convex organ bay in the middle. Like the baptismal font, the rococo-classicist pulpit altar, framed in white and gold, with delicate column architecture and two lateral arches, dates from the time the church was built.

Since 2001, the Trinity Church has also been a parish prayer house in Gmünd .
