Tultschnig branch church
The Tultschnig branch church is located in the village of Tultschnig in the municipality of Krumpendorf am Wörthersee in the Klagenfurt-Land district in Carinthia. The Roman Catholic branch church of the Klagenfurt-Wölfnitz parish church , consecrated to St. John the Baptist , belongs to the Klagenfurt-Stadt deanery in the Gurk-Klagenfurt diocese . The church is a listed building ( list entry ).
history
Mentioned for the first time in 1217 and 1326, the church was under the patronage of Maria Saal . Especially since Tultschnig is a small village, a building site was acquired with Pastor Josef Komar in 1967 with the welfare of Bishop Joseph Köstner in the up-and-coming Wölfnitz and in 1978 a parish council was elected for the first time. With the laying of the foundation stone of the church in Wölfnitz in 1985 by Bishop Egon Kapellari , the same parish church and the church in Tultschnig were downgraded to a branch church, and in 1985 Franz Berger became pastor.
architecture
In the late 16th century, a Gothic choir with a five- eighth closure was added to the originally Romanesque choir tower church , a chapel on the north side and the sacristy in the south .
The five-storey tower with arched sound windows is crowned by a baroque onion helmet with a lantern.
The roofs of the church are covered with stone slabs. The arched windows were renewed in the baroque era. There is a blind window at the end of the choir. The monumental late Gothic fresco on the east side of the sacristy depicts St. Christopher. The west portal is protected by an open vestibule. The grave slab of Wolfgang von Seltenhaim and his wife from 1521 as well as a heavily worn grave slab with the Hallegger coat of arms, probably from the Romanesque, are walled in next to the portal . Inside on the north wall of the nave there is a Renaissance epitaph with a resurrection relief, the kneeling votive couple of Konrad von Lichtenstein († 1594) and his wife Anna, née Khienburg († 1589) and a double coat of arms.
A baroque barrel vault with stitch caps rises above the nave .
The wooden organ loft stands on two slim round columns. The organ was built by Josef Grafenauer in 1852. A low, round-arched triumphal arch connects the nave with the tower square, which is opened to the choir and the north chapel through irregular, round dividing arches . The tower square, the choir and the north chapel have ridged cross vaults .
Facility
The three altars from the 18th century were given an empire decoration in 1813 . The high altar , built in 1763, has an altar panel with the baptism of Christ from 1785. On the side are the figures of the peasant saints Isidor and Notburga . The left side altar shows in the popularly painted central picture the appearance of the miraculous image of Maria Genazzano in front of three pilgrims, the upper image shows Saint Anthony.
The right side altar shows Saint Joseph with child in the main picture and Saint Ulrich on the top picture .
In the north chapel there is a neo-renaissance altar from the beginning of the 20th century with an image of the Sacred Heart . On the north wall of the choir hangs a picture of the stoning of St. Stephen with the name “Joh. v. Scribes pinx. 1813 “. The church also features a baroque console statue of St. Stephen, a crucifix from the 19th century on the triumphal arch and a baptismal font with the crowning figure of John the Baptist.
The Grafenau organ has a manual , a pedal and a total of 8 registers . It works, but some buttons on the pedal are defective. The good acoustics of the church interior result in a beautiful, full sound when playing, for both the people and the organist.
