history

High altar with crucifixion group

As early as 1670, a small chapel was built on the Meierhof of Guggenthal Castle with permission to carry out exhibitions . At that time, the property was owned by the Bishops of Chiemsee , the auxiliary bishops of Salzburg, and in that year it was sold to the high ducal chief executive Franz Carl Polito .

The Weikl family, who bought the estate and built up an extensive brewery there, built a neo-Gothic church in honor of St. Cross and St. Elisabeth donated. Jacob Ceconi laid the foundation stone for the building on April 21, 1863 . The inauguration took place on September 14, 1864 by Archbishop and Cardinal Dr. Maximilian Joseph von Tarnóczy instead. The marble pulpit of the church comes from the old cathedral in Salzburg and was bought for Guggenthal in 1862.

The roof and windows were damaged by nearby bombs in 1944/45, and the restoration work was completed in 1948.

In 1964 the interior renovation of the church began on the 100th anniversary. The Koppl community and the church continue to keep the church in very good condition.
