The Roman Catholic pilgrimage church Maria Dorn is surrounded by a cemetery and is located north of Bad Eisenkappel on a slope and can be reached via a covered staircase with 83 steps. It is a branch church of the parish church of St. Michael .
history
The chapel "Heilige Maria Obriach", mentioned in a document in 1145, is considered to be the predecessor building. The church was consecrated in 1386. The late Gothic church was built in the last third of the 15th century and still contains wall parts from the 14th century.
Building description
The Gothic north tower with twin windows in the bell storey is crowned by a pointed helmet. To the west of the tower is a late Baroque chapel extension with an iron plate door. The polygonal choir is supported by three-tiered buttresses . The two-storey sacristy annex attached to the south has an ogival south portal with an iron plate door. There are three late Gothic portals on the west facade. The walled-in central portal was decorated with a painting of Maria in the thorn in the Baroque era, the side portals have iron plate doors. A staircase leads to the gallery on the northwest side. The late Gothic wall paintings above the south portal, created around 1490, depict the Lamentation of Christ and the death of the Virgin . On the adjacent buttress you can see an Anna herself and a half-length figure with two lions, either St. Vitus or St. Jerome . On the western south wall there is an overpainted picture of Christophorus .
Inside the two-aisled, two-bay nave, the vault rests on a polygonal central pillar. While the vault in the western yoke is designed as a star rib vault , the eastern yoke consists of a warped mesh rib vault . The middle arch in the eastern yoke divides into two narrower arches that are supported by the ascending branches of the choir arch. The almost square nave creates a transverse rectangular spatial impression due to the baroque, two-axis, groin-vaulted gallery. The choir arch is marked 1385 on the northern wall of the choir arch. The one-yoke choir with a five-eighth end has a ribbed vault, the sinks of which are caught by a sill . The keystones have reliefs with the head of Christ and a rosette. An oratory with a wooden coffered ceiling is located above the sacristy on the south side of the choir, which was probably added in 1814 . On the north side of the choir, a Gothic portal leads into the groin-vaulted tower ground floor. The Anne Chapel on the north side of the nave, mentioned in a document in 1515, was rebuilt in the third third of the 18th century.
