history

From 1538 to 1583 Jedlersdorf was already its own parish. Before and after, the place belonged to the parish church of Kagran due to the lack of Catholic priests .

The 37 survivors of the plague from 1713 to 1714 in Jedlersdorf built a wooden chapel out of gratitude, which was subsequently expanded several times, most recently in 1764.

When Jedlersdorf was devastated by fire in 1748, according to a legend, the image of the Virgin Mary, Klein-Maria-Taferl, was thrown into the flames. The picture was later found undamaged under charred rubble. As a result, many pilgrims came to the Klein-Maria-Taferl pilgrimage church to pray in front of the Flame Madonna .

In 1783 the church was approved by Joseph II as a separate parish and consecrated to St. Charles Borromeo in memory of the plague, and a separate cemetery was built on the outskirts of the village. The church was again enlarged in 1785 and given a tower. In the course of the fighting at the Battle of Wagram , the village of Jedlersdorf was burned down in 1809. The church also suffered damage and was restored by 1822. A colleague of Andreas Hofer , the Capuchin Father Joachim Haspinger from Tyrol, was pastor of the church from 1813 to 1815.

From 1970 to 1997 the composer Raimund Weissensteiner was a priest in the parish.

architecture

The single-nave church with small-scale adjoining rooms, an undivided building with a slightly projecting main room, a slightly lower rectangular choir in the south and a trapezoidal entrance yoke with a gable facade, stands free in the district street of Jedlersdorf. The hipped roof is covered with plain tiles. In the south, the tower with the Welscher dome is presented asymmetrically . A strong cornice surrounds the building. Rectangular and arched windows are located in the facade. The three-bay hall is structured uniformly and has square vaults over double belts and shallow shield arches.

Furnishing

The high altar table with adoring angel figures comes from the middle of the 19th century. The high altar image is the aforementioned miraculous image of the Mother of God , which was thrown into the flames in 1748. It is a print of a crowned Pietà and is only 15 × 20 cm in size. On the right-hand side (facing the street) there is a painting by A. Nigg (1838) depicting the church patron Karl Borromeo .

Sculptures of St. John the Baptist on the baptismal font, Saints Jude Thaddäus , Antonius of Padua , Joseph and Therese von Lisieux , a crucifix probably from the second half of the 18th century and reliefs of the cross from the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century.
