Parish church Bad Goisern
The Roman Catholic parish church Bad Goisern is located in the center of the municipality of Bad Goisern in the Gmunden district in Upper Austria . It is consecrated to St. Martin and is located in the dean's office in Bad Ischl in the diocese of Linz . The building is under monument protection ( list entry ).
history
The first documentary mention can be found in a document from the year 1320, when the then Passau auxiliary bishop carried out the reconciliation of the already existing Martinskirche. The late Gothic church, which is still preserved in its core, was consecrated by the Passau suffragan bishop Friedrich Andreas. The restoration after the fire of 1495 took place in the same year. In 1534 and 1730 the church had to be restored again after fires.
Although Bad Goisern was one of the first tolerance communities to be predominantly Protestant and has therefore had an Evangelical parish church since 1782 , the Catholic population has increased steadily. For this reason an expansion of the Martinskirche became necessary, the construction work took place in the years 1835 to 1837. The main axis was turned at right angles and the choir of the old church was rededicated as a side chapel (Marienkapelle).
Church building
The newer part of the Martinskirche is designed as a cross-shaped hall church with a barrel vault. From the original Gothic building, the one-yoke vaulted net - ribbed choir with a 3/8 end, which today forms the eastern arm of the choir, as well as the pointed arch portal in the north from 1530 with a rich profile have been preserved unchanged.
The west tower from 1863 has a tent roof.
Furnishing
The high altar from 1691 comes from the church in Niederthalheim . It was restored in 1959. The baroque tabernacle comes from the Church of St. Peter near Linz , now a district of Linz. The statues of St. Peter and St. Paul were made in the third quarter of the 18th century. The altarpiece is by Joseph Binder . The side altars are made in neo-Gothic style. The altarpieces show St. Mary and St. Sebastian and were probably painted by Ämilian Rösch in 1703 . On the right side altar are late Gothic statues of St. James and St. Florian . They were created at the beginning of the 16th century by artists close to Lienhart Astl and originally stood on the old high altar.
In the former choir, which today serves as the Lady Chapel, there are six Gothic panel paintings , which are also painted on the back. They show representations from the life of Mary and other saints. They were probably originally altar leaves from two winged altars . They were made towards the end of the 15th century in the workshop of Rueland Frueauf the Elder . They were restored in 1948/49. The Lady Chapel has a delicate star rib vault that rests on wall services. In addition, the architecture is accentuated by half a three-pass in the middle diamond. In the church there are also two baroque paintings from the 17th century showing the resurrection and the preaching of Jesus.
The former high altar painting was made by Leopold Kupelwieser in 1845. It is now in the nave. The late baroque pulpit was acquired from Gramastetten in 1966 and replaced a neo-Gothic predecessor.
