The branch church of St. Blasius von Sebaste of the Paudorf-Göttweig parish belongs to the Göttweig deanery in the diocese of St. Pölten . The church and the cemetery are under monument protection .

history

The church, mentioned in a document in 1130, is located on the so-called Zeller Weg , a pilgrimage route from Bohemia to Mariazell , mentioned in documents in 1360. A slender church building from the mid-15th century stands above a Romanesque previous building. The gallery was built in the 17th century. The baroque roof turret was probably built around 1717 and was re-covered in 1733. In 1988/1989 the outside of the church was restored and the inside in 1990.

architecture

The undivided nave has a gable roof, the roof structure with the year 1733 was re-covered with tiles in 1988. The south-western gable wall faces the slope of the Waxenberg and has rectangular slots and a two-lane pointed arched window with tracery. The choir has a five-eighth end and a slightly higher eaves and ridge line, a two-storey sacristy is built under a pent roof to the southeast in the choir corner, with a spiral staircase in front of the nave. The choir shows slender buttresses with four narrow, two-lane tracery windows in between and square painting covering the entire area. The octagonal roof turret above the ridge of the choir has a sound floor open with columns and round arches and a graceful bell helmet. The epitaph-like war memorial on the choir shows a relief of dying warriors before Christ , created by the sculptor F. Meixner (1926).

The hall of the nave has a grooved flat ceiling and a curved plaster-cut mirror from 1733. The gallery is open to the nave with a round arch on three strong octagonal pillars. The Gothic triumphal arch is wide and high, above it is a coat of arms and the year 1733. The broadly proportioned, raised two-bay choir has a late-Gothic ribbed vault around the middle of the 15th century. The shoulder portal to the barrel-vaulted sacristy was enlarged in 1951. On the north side the choir has medieval wall paintings and sgraffiti.

Furnishing

The high altar is a tall, narrow, strict reredos from the first half of the 17th century with sacrificial portals with the statues Johannes Nepomuk and Joseph with child and side volutes with putti head decoration. The high altar painting crucifix with Maria and Johannes, Maria Magdalena, Benedikt and Blasius was created around 1600 and was restored in 1990. The top with veil boards around 1700 shows the statue of Mary with Child heavily pondered from the end of the 15th century, with a baroque version and more broadly in the 19th century. The late Gothic figure of Christ Salvator stands on the final gable .

The side altars, a simple neo-baroque picture frame retable with side columns and antependia with painted flower tendrils, were created by Jakob Fritsch (probably 1706). The left altar shows a picture of Mary with child, the right altar shows the picture of St. Benedikt, both by Johann Samuel Hötzendorfer (1733). The left upper picture St. Gregory and the right upper picture St. Berthold are from the 17th century. The pulpit from 1733 has a polygonal basket on a curved foot.

The crucifix is ​​probably from the 17th century. There is a picture of St. Blasius by Johann Baptist Byss (1733) and a picture of Maria Immaculata from the 19th century. The Stations of the Cross are from the 19th century. The choir stalls, partly inlaid, from the first quarter of the 17th century, stood in the Göttweig collegiate church until 1766.
