history

Building history of the church

A church is mentioned in 1453, in 1507 the priest was already called "Priest of the Church of Grace" . The existing Gothic building was a daughter church of the deanery Altenmarkt created and on October 19, 1479 consecrated , the west tower completed in 1546. The pilgrimage to the Filzmooser Kindl fell into disrepair due to Protestantism and only became better known again from 1700 onwards.

Parish history

The parish was established in 1858. In 2013 it had around 1200 souls and belongs to the dean's office and parish association Altenmarkt ( Parish Association Altenmarkt / Filzmoos / Flachau ).

Furnishing

The interior of the church has often been redesigned. In the course of such a serious measure, the neo-Gothic furnishings were removed and the flat-arched shell vault demolished between 1959 and 1962. Only the decorations on the case of the organ are reminiscent of the lavish neo-Gothic furnishings of the church.

On the south side of the nave wall there used to be a Gothic altar in honor of St. Jodok and Magdalena, whom Nikolaus Kaps had consecrated on October 4, 1502. The middle part of the altar with a statue of St. Jodok , stepping on a crown, was bought by the Salzburg Museum in 1915 and has been preserved, the painted or relief wings with depictions of St. Magdalena , as a penitent and as a hermit, however, are missing.
