Flatschach branch church
The Flatschach branch church in the municipality of Glanegg belongs to the parish of St. Gandolf and is consecrated to St. Lawrence .
The church was first mentioned in 1570 as a branch church of Tigring . In the church, which was formerly under the patronage of Our Lady , no more services were celebrated from 1932 due to the increasing decline. The cemetery surrounding the church was abandoned in 1920. In 1986/88 there was a complete restoration and re-opening.
