history
The parish of Göllersdorf was first mentioned in 1356. Up until this point, Göllersdorf shared the story of Hausleiten , the former mother parish . The first documentary mention of a church comes from the year 1456, when a church building was reported as the "Foundation of Katharina Heusloder". This church was the Gothic predecessor of today's church. It had four altars and was also used as a burial place. Between October 17, 1594 and March 31, 1712 a total of seven burials could be proven that took place in the church.
During the Reformation the whole community was Protestant before it became Catholic again under Wolf von Puchheim in 1611.
In 1740 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt received the order from Friedrich Karl Reichsgraf von Schönborn-Buchheim to rebuild and rebuild the church using the still usable building fabric. The church was consecrated on the first Sunday in Advent in 1741 .
The church was renovated several times, most recently in 1900 and 2000.

Above it is a large oval ocular . In the side axes of the west facade are rectangular windows with straight window roofs and sills .
The building is staggered by a lower row of chapels and protruding cross arms and structured by pilaster strips . The side chapels have volute ends, pent roofs and porch porches with hipped roofs . Above the roof ridge of each of the two portal porches is an oculus of the respective side chapel and in the upper arcade there are two segmented arched windows . At the same height on each of the transverse arms there is also an arched segment window. South side is labeled "1741" Sundial .
The retracted Gothic choir from the second half of the 15th century with a triangular closure has stepped buttresses with water hammer and a surrounding coffin cornice . There is a baroque window cutout on each of the two lateral axes and oval blind windows on all three axes.
The north tower on the side of the choir has a late Gothic core on the lower three floors and is structured by corner blocks and cornices. On the ground floor there are corner buttresses with water hammer. The octagonal sound projectile with arched sound windows has an onion helmet , which is crowned by a tower ball with a patriarchal cross.
On the south side of the choir is a two-storey sacristy and oratory extension with a fascia and cornice structure. On the ground floor there is a steamed portal from the time the church was rebuilt. The upper floor dating from around 1785 by a flying buttress connected to the parsonage.

The hall church consists of a two- bay nave with an intermediate bay and side chapels, the dome crossing with transverse arm chapels and the choir. It is uniformly structured by Ionic pilasters, a surrounding entablature and belt arches .
The nave, vaulted with a stitch cap , is closed off in the west by a drawn-in cone with the gallery . On the sides are two round-arched chapel niches with transverse barrels and portal niches of the same height in the intermediate yoke. A retracted triumphal arch forms the transition to a transversely rectangular crossing with an oval pendentive dome , which opens into equally high transverse arm-like chapel annexes with arches on both sides. These additions are connected like a backdrop by bulges in the width of the adjacent rooms.
The choir bay has a barrel vault and ends in a round apse. Above the side portals of the sacristy are the oratorio windows with a frame from the end of the 18th century with a crowning Schönborn coat of arms. The stenciled neo-baroque painting and the glass painting are from around 1900.
