Parish Church of Braunsdorf
The parish church of Braunsdorf stands next to Braunsdorf Castle in the village of Braunsdorf in the market town of Sitzendorf an der Schmida in the Hollabrunn district in Lower Austria . The Roman Catholic parish church , consecrated to Saints Peter and Paul , is part of the Sitzendorf deanery in the vicariate Unter dem Manhartsberg of the Archdiocese of Vienna . The church is a listed building ( list entry ).
Parish history
The foundation of the parish is likely to be related to the establishment of the Lords of Braunsdorf at the beginning of the 13th century. In any case, Braunsdorf was a manorial country parish in the 14th century. In 1390 a priest and a were Kaplan mentioned in a document around the year 1427 Hanns Neydegker received the church fief of Duke Albrecht V awarded.
In 1621, at the request of the official Karl von Kirchberg, the run-down and orphaned parish was merged with the parish of Roseldorf . With the new endowment of the parish in 1678, the parish Braunsdorf regained its independence.
Building history
Nothing is known about the location of the original church in Braunsdorf. It is said that it had to be demolished in 1786/87 due to dilapidation and that today's church was built in a new location between 1787 and 1792. At the same time, the old cemetery was closed and the new construction outside of the village took place.
Building description
The simple Josephine hall church with a north-west tower faces south-east.
Outside
The hall building is dominated by a four-zone facade tower in the northwest. Plain plastered fields consisting of pilaster strips and bands as well as arched windows structure the facade. The top of the tower consists of a curved helmet with clock gables, which is crowned by a tower ball with a patriarchal cross. The large arched windows above the banded tower ground floor are provided with set parapets.
A wicker-arch closed apse delimits the retracted choir in the southeast. Adjacent to it in the south-west is a storage room with a stately oratory above , which is accessed via a spiral staircase that is accessible from the outside . The sacristy adjoins the northeast of the choir. The components on both sides of the choir are closed by pent roofs.
In front of the church there is a wooden crucifix with a sheet metal image of the crucified Christ. According to its name, it dates from 1900.
Inside
Platzl vaults , which are stretched between double chords, close off the two-bay nave with drawn-in rounded corners. The belts are placed on double pilasters in front of shallow wall pillars with richly profiled entablature. The vaulted gallery, which opens up to the nave via three arches built on Tuscan columns, is located in a half-yoke that is rounded towards the tower. The wooden balustrade protrudes into the nave. It dates from the beginning of the 20th century, is coffered and structured with pilasters.
The nave is exposed through four high arched windows with figural stained glass from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Furnishing
The free-standing neo-Gothic high altar was donated in 1898. The framed altar panel from the late 18th century, attached to the wall behind it, shows the two church patrons Peter and Paul. Alicja Dabrowska KG restored the painting and the frame between 2004 and 2009. The historicist tabernacle bears a top figure " Christ Salvator " and is flanked by figures of the apostles Peter (left) and Paul (right).
On the side walls of the choir there are two monumental oil paintings that were created as a follow-up to “Kremser Schmidt” and are related to the high altar painting . The left painting shows the " Allegory of Faith " and the right the " Angel's Fall ". This cycle of paintings includes four more paintings in the nave: " Crucifixion ", " Saint Florian ", " Christ-John Group " and “ Saint Anne teaches Mary to read ”.
The polygonal pulpit, built in the late 19th century with neo-Gothic decoration, shows the reliefs of Christ and the four evangelists in the blind arcades of the pulpit . Opposite the pulpit is a side altar, which probably dates from 1908 and on which there was originally the statue of the Mother of God with the baby Jesus from the 20th century, which is now mounted as a console statue next to the pulpit. Now there is a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the neo-Gothic box altar with column structure.
Two more console statues from around 1800 are on the walls of the nave; on the left a guardian angel and on the right St. Leopold III. of Austria .
The 14 Stations of the Cross are from roughly the same time as the baptismal font , which is labeled " 1898 ".
organ
The organ was created in 1915 by Franz Capek from Krems an der Donau instead of an earlier instrument by Ignaz Reinold . The five-axis housing is designed in the neo-baroque style and is dominated by the two raised outer towers, whose curved tips protrude and which end with strongly profiled cornices. Two narrow flat fields with three pipes each lead over to the low, flat, round central tower. In the upper area, the pipe fields are decorated with openwork, gilded acanthus veils, which are also attached in a modified form to the left side of the case. The veil is currently missing on the right side. The instrument has ten registers , which are divided between a manual and a pedal .
