The parish church Attnang is located in the Attnang district in the Attnang-Puchheim community in Upper Austria . The Roman Catholic parish church of the Holy Spirit belongs to the Schwanenstadt dean's office in the Linz diocese . The church is a listed building .
history
Due to the strong population growth of the place in the interwar period, the old parish church (today the branch church Alt-Attnang) became too small. In addition, a new town center was created near the Attnang-Puchheim train station. The church was built from 1935 to 1951 with a war-related interruption and bomb damage according to the plans of architect Hans Feichtlbauer and was consecrated on September 9, 1951 with Prelate Leopold Hager.
architecture
The three-aisled church building has a raised choir square and a west tower.
Furnishing
Most of the interior fittings in a modern form, but made from one piece, come from the Klothilde Rauch sculptor's workshop in Altmünster. The focal point above the high altar is a crucifix by the sculptor Franz Forster from St. Florian, the glass windows, which match the style of the interior, are from the Viennese company Greyling and are based on designs by the Viennese painter Lucia Jirgal . The large and beautiful Christmas crib is the work of F. Binder (figures) and N. Stüger (landscape) from Steinkogl near Ebensee.
The church also has a Fatima chapel built in 1965.
