Parish church Feistritz am Wechsel
The parish church Feistritz am Wechsel is in the center of the municipality Feistritz am Wechsel in the Neunkirchen district in Lower Austria . The Roman Catholic parish church , consecrated to Saint Ulrich of Augsburg , belongs to the Kirchberg deanery in the vicariate Unter dem Wienerwald of the Archdiocese of Vienna . The church with a defensive wall is a listed building ( list entry ).
history
Presumably from an initial benefit, a manorial parish was adopted around 1270.
The late Gothic fortified church was later changed to baroque and neo-Gothic styles. In 1835 a restoration was carried out with the establishment of a west portal porch. During the restoration in 1972, wall paintings on the south wall of the apse were uncovered.
architecture
The late-Gothic church building was surrounded by a medieval defensive wall, which has been preserved in the north, east and south-east; in the west, a neo-Gothic porch adjoins the defensive wall.
The nave is a mighty three-bay hall building from the second half of the 15th century with a gable roof and a defensive floor with loopholes and a western ridge turret with a pyramid roof. The western front is smooth and undivided. In front of the west portal there is a vestibule under a gable roof, in the triangular gable there is a building inscription showing Joseph Freiherr von Dietrich 1835. In the south wall of the nave there is a chamfered, ogival late Gothic south portal. The pointed arched windows and buttresses were presumably left out in the neo-Gothic style. To the south in the transition from nave and choir is a low sacristy extension from the 17th century under a pent roof.
Outside the church are tombstones of the Rottal family .
Furnishing
In the apse on the east wall hangs a baroque wooden crucifix from the second half of the 18th century with the statues of St. Ulrich and Wolfgang from the beginning of the 16th century.
There is a late Gothic figure of Mary on the crescent moon from the 16th century.
The organ in a neo-baroque case was built by Franz Svitil and Son (1863). There is a 14th century bell.
