history
The establishment of a Meierhof with a chapel was documented in 1217. In 1327 the chapel was extended as a stone structure and today forms the choir and the foundation walls of the nave. In 1332 the church was named as the new church. The church was incorporated into Lilienfeld Abbey in 1382. The nave was built from 1440 to 1444 over a previous building and extended and vaulted to the west by another yoke. In 1514 the church became a parish church when it was replaced by Turnitz. The rectory was added from 1639 to 1641. A stone staircase was added to the west portal in the 17th century. From 1668 to 1710 the nave windows were enlarged and the furnishings changed. A roof turret was added to the western front in 1753 according to the plans of the master builder Johann Pauli. The interior was restored in 1898, an overall restoration in 1953/1956, the western ridge turret was restored in 1992, and the exterior was restored in 1993.
architecture
The church is one of the first pilgrimage sites for St. Anna. The pilgrimage church is located on the Via Sacra to Mariazell. It is noteworthy because of the medieval architecture and the largely early baroque furnishings and because of the widely visible system on the top of the pass on a steep terrain sloping to the east. The church is staggered several times in plan and height and forms a structural ensemble with the early baroque rectory. The steep shingle roofs and the white or light gray plastered facades determine the cohesion of the complex. On the choir and on the nave there are high stepped buttresses with Gothic and late Gothic pointed arch windows and on the nave, thanks to the baroque adaptation, with enlarged rectangular windows and a higher round arched window. The western front is high and slender and shows a central, multi-stepped profiled pointed arches with an inner shoulder portal on a stone staircase with flanking pillars crowned with spheres. The portal shows some old fittings on the door leaves. Above the west portal is a pointed arch window and above it, above a projecting cornice, the high turret from 1753. The roof turret is structured with cornices and has a hood and a cross.
Furnishing
In 1954, late Gothic tendril paintings from the years 1440 to 1444 were exposed and restored in the vault and under the west gallery. The church floor consists of colored, chessboard-like limestone slabs.
The early baroque high altar from 1686 with a three-storey structure is richly decorated with statues and gilded ornaments. The side altars are from the 17th / 18th centuries. Turn of the century, with the northern side altar being equipped with a late Gothic stone canteen .
The organ from 1898 is the work of Ybbs organ builder Max Jakob (1847–1918), who used the old case from the 17th / 18th centuries. Reused turn of the century.
