Hohenburg branch church (Lurnfeld)
The Maria Hohenburg branch church is visible from afar on a rock that slopes steeply to the south, northwest of Pusarnitz in the municipality of Lurnfeld . The branch church of the Pusarnitz parish was expanded into a pilgrimage church in 1706 above the Markuskirche mentioned in 1473.
Building description
The church consists of a short, single-nave nave with an irregular floor plan and a semicircular apse that comes from the previous Romanesque chapel. A sacristy is built on the north side . The Gothic south tower is crowned by a baroque onion helmet. On the Romanesque south portal is an ornamental relief frieze with braided bandwork and an animal figure as well as a relief plate with a cross from the 12th / 13th centuries. Immured in the 17th century.
Inside, the nave has a flat roof, and the triumphal arch is marked 1765 by a chronogram . An artistically forged grille separates the chancel from the nave.
Facility
The richly decorated with acanthus decorated high altar from 1714 carries over the tabernacle a copy of the miraculous image of "Our Lady of Altötting " and above it a carved group of the Coronation of the Virgin . The figure of Mary in this group of figures and the original image of grace were stolen in 1973. The upper pictures show the Evangelist Mark and to the side the Saints Erasmus and Laurentius . The side altars were made around 1720. The front left altar bears the statue of St. John Nepomuk and shows the holy brother Konrad von Altötting on the altar sheet and St. George on the upper picture . On the right altar the saints Anthony of Padua and Florian are depicted. On the second north side altar stands the figure of St. Anne , flanked by St. Catherine and Barbara . The middle picture shows the holy clan , the upper picture shows St. Francis Xavier .
The pulpit from the first quarter of the 18th century was taken by Anton Miller in 1739 and bears the statuettes of the Evangelists on the pulpit and the bust of God the Father on the sound cover . The wooden relief of Christ Carrying the Cross from the beginning of the 16th century was probably the predella of a destroyed altar. Next to the side portal is an iron-studded offering box. The church also features votive pictures from the early 18th century, such as the depiction of a sick person and the twelve helpers in need from 1724, a votive picture by Christina Priesinger from 1712 and a votive picture from 1703.
