Karlauerkirche
The Karl Auer Church of the Holy Trinity is a Roman Catholic church in the 5th Graz district Gries . It is the parish church of the Graz-Karlau parish.
History and design
The church originally belonged to the monastery of the Trinitarian Order , which cared for Christians who had fallen into Saracen captivity and slavery. After the order had to give up its establishment in Belgrade , it turned to the Bishop of Seckau in 1754 to be allowed to found a monastery in Graz. The request said "because in times of war many children of the Sothan country had been brought into Turkish slavery by the hereditary enemy".
The Trinitarians finally got a property in southern Gries, which they expanded and where they built a new church in place of the old house chapel. The plans came from a priest of the Trinitans named Andreas; In 1758 the church was consecrated. Later the church received a roof turret . The Styrian baroque painter Hans Adam Weissenkircher created the picture on the high altar with a representation of the Most Holy Trinity . The Trinity is also represented by a rococo sculpture on the church portal. The hll. The two side altars are consecrated to Joseph and Anna . On the cross altar is a late baroque crucifix that, according to legend, the monks bought from a Turk from his storeroom.
