Hoisn Chapel

The Hoisn-Hof and the free-standing Hoisn Chapel in the hamlet of Wienau in the market town of Weitersfelden in Upper Austria form a monumental ensemble of peasant stonemasons .

history

In 1480 the Hoisn-Hof was mentioned in the land of the Reichenstein manor . The three-sided courtyard, closed on the west side with a wall, was renovated with full granite stone masonry by Karl Wurm (1844–1909), commonly known as Hoisnbauer , with his brothers Anton and Phillip. Then they built a new building made of granite stones next to the Hoisn-Hof as a peasant chapel , the chapel of the 12 apostles.

The rural courtyard was renovated in the 4th quarter of the 19th century with older components in the stone castle style with granite stones . The facade has remarkable stone carvings in the Romanesque style. The rectangular framing of the entrance portal was designed with rounded corners. On the courtyard wall is a human relief figure, carved in stone, crowned with a sphere, a spherical bearer. Parts of the farm building have a granite ceiling.

Hoisn Chapel

The Hoisn Chapel was built around 1890 as a rectangular building. An imagined tower on free-standing pillars in relief with a column top as a belfry closes with a spherical pyramidal roof. There is a relief of a warrior in a narrow niche on the tower . The polygonal granite roof of the chapel rests on twelve console heads. In the polygonal niche there is a statuette of Maria from 1900.
