The branch church of St. Magdalena am Lurnfeld in the municipality of Lurnfeld is east of Möllbrücke am frei Feld. It belongs to the parish Möllbrücke . The church was first mentioned in a document in 1473. In 1629 it is named as profaned , and again as consecrated in 1677.

The church is a small, Romanesque long building that was changed in the Baroque . Opus spicatum has been preserved in the masonry . The nave, supported by two tiered buttresses , closes with a semicircular apse . A sacristy is built on the south side . In the wooden vestibule there are two capstones (loricae) of the surrounding wall of a Roman grave circle with remains of relief (double ax, lance and Amazon shield ). The low tent roof is crowned by a cornered roof turret. The nave and the chancel are flat-roofed and connected by a round-arched triumphal arch . The church furnishings consist of an altar and a pulpit from the early 18th century and a console figure of St. John Nepomuk .

The church fell victim to two church robberies: in 1954, late Gothic carved figures of saints Florian and Georg and a statue of Johannes Nepomuk were stolen, and in 1965 a rosary Madonna was stolen.
