history
In a document with the Zwettl Abbey in 1238, a pastor and a school teacher from Hedreisdorf were named as witnesses. During the interior renovation in 1978/1979, two Romanesque window niches were exposed, which are now covered behind the two side altars. A new Gothic building was erected around 1400 . Representations of this church can be found in the hall of the Hadersdorf am Kamp town hall and on a votive picture of the Hadersdorf citizens from 1680 in the Maria Langegg pilgrimage church . In the 16th and 17th centuries the population was predominantly Protestant, which is why the parish church fell into disrepair and there was not enough money for restoration. Not until 1632 was a Catholic pastor named again.
In 1679, a fourth side altar on the southern longitudinal wall of the choir was demolished under the pastor Jakob Präschern , a portal was broken out and a cruciform chapel was added. With the stone builder Simon Haitzinger, the church was rebuilt and baroque over the Gothic church building in 1746/1750 and the east tower was built on the choir head in 1768. Pastor Preschern was buried in the Kreuzkapelle.
architecture
The essentially Romanesque church was rebuilt in the Gothic style. During the late Gothic renovation, the west tower was removed and the nave was extended by a gallery, a cross chapel was built next to the choir and the tower was rebuilt as the east tower at the head of the choir.
Furnishing
The high altar with a crucifixion group covers a fresco of Peter and Paul.
Leopold Mitterhofer (1820) painted the seven station pictures .
The organ was largely rebuilt by Christoph Erber (1847) with 18 registers. The organ was completely refurbished after the flood disaster in August 2002 to 2005.
