history
In the third quarter of the 15th century, Andreas Baumkircher founded the church with a Pauline monastery outside the city wall. A medieval parish with a no longer existing church within the wall ring is considered likely, in the courtyard of the community center Rochusplatz 2 there are remains of a Gothic church. At first the church was a Marienkirche. In the meantime the church was Protestant. In the 17th and 18th centuries the patronage was the Holy Trinity , from the 19th century it was St. Joseph . The church was elevated to a parish church in 1807.
The Pauline monastery, which was abandoned at the end of the 16th century, directly on the north-west side of the church, has been partially preserved as a ruin with a chapel and cloister and partially built into houses.
The rectory on the site of the abandoned cemetery by the church was built in 1820, rebuilt in 1877 and modernized in 1977.
architecture
The Gothic church building with buttresses and a medieval stair tower was given a slim three-storey tower with a pointed spire in the mid-19th century with the architect Karl Rösner . A striking feature of the Gothic portal in the gable facade is an arched field relief with the Baumkircher coat of arms. The baroque sacristy annex adjoins the long choir, which is somewhat drawn in towards the nave, with a five-eighth end and buttresses.
The three-bay nave with Gothic windows has a baroque barrel vault with stitch caps with terracotta ribs laid in the first quarter of the 18th century as a net vault in the so-called piety shape. The Gothic organ loft above a ribbed vault with a straight parapet has a keystone with the Baumkircher coat of arms. The transition between the nave and the choir is formed by a high, pointed, pointed triumphal arch. In the choir, above the two bays and the chancel, there is a delicate Gothic ribbed vault with ribs made of terracotta and disc cover stones and a console head behind the high altar. The tracery of the windows in the nave and choir was also made with terracotta.
Furnishing
The church has a remarkable baroque interior from the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 18th century. The high altar has a three-storey wall the full height and width of the apse and sacrificial passage portals and shows St. Joseph and the Madonna by the painter Johann Cyriak Hackhofer as an attachment picture . The figures of Saints Joachim, Anna, Katharina and Barbara stand next to smooth and twisted columns. In the top with wide volutes and columns is a sculptural group of the Holy Trinity with angels and the Batthyány coat of arms .
To the left and right of the triumphal arch wall are side altars.
The baptismal font with a seven-sided stone basin shows the arms of the Baumkirch family and the Puchheim family and the year 1512, on the wooden lid there is a figure of John the Baptist from the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. There is a small baroque organ with the figure of King David. A bell was cast by Johann Georg Angerer from Graz in 1726.
