Filial Church of Saint Andreas (Rappersdorf)
The Catholic branch church of Saint Andreas in the village of Rappersdorf in the Carinthian municipality of Mühldorf was first mentioned in a document in 1380.
Building description
The church is a small, late Gothic building that has been converted to baroque style . In 1991 a previous building was found during excavations.
The single-nave, flat-roofed and baroque altered nave is the same width and height as the two-bay choir with a 3/8 end. On the outside, the choir polygon is broken up by double lancet windows and supported by half-height, triangular buttresses; to the south is a baroque church tower with a tent roof, the sound windows of which are arched . Inside the tower there are remains of a wall fresco from the 15th century, which depicts Saint Christopher . This fresco was originally attached to the south outer wall of the choir. Since it would have been covered by the church tower when it was erected, it was transferred to the tower. The nave and the choir with a ribbed vault resting on circular services are connected by a drawn-in, pointed arched and grooved triumphal arch . The church building has a west gallery .
