Parish church Brückl with cemetery

The Roman Catholic parish church of Brückl , consecrated to St. John the Baptist , is a church building by the Carinthian municipality of Brückl , which was first mentioned in a document between 1207 and 1230. The listed sacred building stands a little away from the modern town center on a hill.

Building

The late Gothic building was completed in the first quarter of the 16th century . The cemetery is located directly next to the church. A pointed helmet with gables is placed on the south tower, a two-bay sacristy building is located on the north side of the choir , a polygonal stair tower is bricked into an angle between the tower and the nave. The roof is covered with stone slabs, buttresses run along the outer wall, which are inclined at the corners - one of them is labeled "1521". Both the west and south portal are richly profiled. A coat of arms with a maker's mark from 1521 and an adjoining sacrificial table in a sacrificial niche complete the building.

The single-nave , three-bay nave of the parish church was built in the first quarter of the 16th century. It has a star rib vault, as does the two-bay choir . In the choir above the strongly retracted triumphal arch are the dates "1516" and "1555", including Gothic maker's marks and a restoration inscription from 1903. The basement of the tower has a rib vault, the sacristy a groin vault, the rib vaulted west gallery is labeled "1522" and "1535".
