The parish church hll. Petrus und Paulus is a Roman Catholic parish church at the southern exit of the village Erdberg on Brünner Straße in the Lower Austrian municipality of Poysdorf . It is consecrated to Saints Peter and Paul and belongs to the Poysdorf deanery . The church and its parsonage are under monument protection .
Before 1333 Erdberg belonged to the Großkrut vicariate . In 1716 it was elevated to a parish . Since the previous building stood on muddy ground and was in serious disrepair, the present church was built in 1787–1788 by order of Emperor Joseph II on a higher, dry place. In the center of Erdberg there is a pillar shrine with popular baroque statues of the Holy Trinity and Saints Rochus and Florian from the old church.
The early classicistic hall church with facade tower has a retracted, three-sided closed choir in the west as well as a retracted front yoke with gable facade and a slightly protruding tower , structured by pilasters, with arched sound windows and tent roof in the east. South of the choir is a single-storey sacristy .
The three-bay nave is covered by square vaults over belt arches on pilasters in front of wall templates. A three-axis organ loft with a swinging parapet on pillars rises above square vaults and a recessed, round-arched triumphal arch . The single-yoke choir has a square vault over belt arches and pilasters and polygonal stitch caps. The ground floor of the tower and the sacristy are also vaulted. The frescoes in the vaults depict the Twelve Apostles and were probably created by Arthur Brusenbauch around 1933.
The late Baroque high altar, with a pilaster-structured reredos on a high base with volute extract and strongly moving angel figures in the entablature zone , was made in the third quarter of the 18th century and has console statues of Saints Dorothea (?) And Johannes Nepomuk . The altarpiece of Saints Peter and Paul probably dates from the beginning of the 20th century. The early baroque Madonna on the side altar was probably created in the 17th century and later revised. The neo-Gothic high pulpit dates from the 19th century . In the choir there are baroque console statues of knight saints and a replica of the Mariazeller Madonna in a baroque shrine . Further furnishings include two late baroque oval pictures of Saints Jude Thaddäus and Johannes Nepomuk from the second quarter of the 18th century, a votive picture of the Madonna marked 1861 and an organ from around 1870, which was probably built by Franz Reusch.
The parsonage belonging to the church - a two-storey building with a hipped roof and simple facade with cornice and corner pilasters - was built in the 18th century. On its southern side was storage cultivated. North-east of the rectory, on the opposite side of the street, there is a grave monument in honor of the pastor Andreas Presiger, who died on June 8, 1733.
