Fehring parish church
The parish church Fehring hl. Josef is a Roman Catholic church in the town of Fehring in Styria.
history
The parish of Fehring is mentioned for the first time on March 25, 1305 in a document from Berthold von Emmerberg as the vicariate parish of Riegersburg . The "old" church from 1411 was named Maria im Dorn . In the 15th century, after armed conflicts, the church was surrounded by a fortification, the so-called Fehringer Tabor . In 1716 a new construction of the church began, which was consecrated in 1765. The year 1723 at the entrance to the church refers to the construction of the nave.
During the Second World War, the church tower burned down and the dome collapsed, while the nave remained undamaged except for bullets. The largest of the five bells also crashed, but remained undamaged. In 1952 the reconstruction was celebrated. In 1960 four new bells were purchased, and in 1979 a new organ was consecrated.
Architecture and interior design
The baroque church from 1716 was built in a north-south orientation. The choir of the Gothic (east-west facing) predecessor church has been preserved as a chapel. The building is a three-bay hall church with groin vaults and belts over pilasters, in the north the retracted choir with three-eighth closure and on the south facade the presented bell tower with a baroque onion dome, built in 1732 by Andreas Stengg . The steep gable roof of the church is covered with tiles.
The altar sheet shows the dying Joseph and comes from the Tyrolean Ignazius Kern (1728). The side altars are dedicated to St. Johannes Nepomuk and St. Consecrated to Florian . Franz Mikschowsky received St. Trinity painted on the triumphal arch .
The historicist pulpit (around 1890) with an elaborate sound cover is adapted to the style of the baroque altars of the church. The four colored reliefs of the pulpit show the four evangelists. The colorful, naive Stations of the Cross pictures were painted by Basilia Güth , former abbess of Pertlstein Abbey .
