The St. Luzia branch church belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Schwabegg and is located in a lonely location north of the village of Aich / Dob in the Bleiburg community . The church is a stopover on the Jauntaler Dreiber run.
Building description
The core of the nave comes from the Romanesque period , as can be seen from two windows on the south wall of the nave. At the beginning of the 18th century the church was enlarged, to the west with an extension of the nave and to the east with an enlargement of the chancel. At the same time, the north tower, designated 1726, was built. In the tower hang a bells cast by Lorenz Pez in 1670 and one by Mathias Landsmann in 1675. During the restoration of the tower in 1997, the baroque architectural polychromy of the corner blocks was restored. The sacristy is built between the tower and the choir . The polygonal choir is decorated with wall templates. A stenciled baroque flat ceiling from the late 17th century extends over the nave. The square fields depict Mary, saints, donors, angel heads and cornucopia. The wooden west gallery from around 1900 stands on narrow baluster pillars. The ceiling below the gallery comes from parts of the former nave ceiling above the gallery. Today a wooden shallow barrel has moved in there. In front of the narrow, round arched triumphal arch, a baroque arch opening leads into the tower. There is the entrance to the barrel-vaulted sacristy. Above the two-bay, baroque choir rises a lancet vault framed by stucco ribs. The polygonal apse is structured by pilasters.
