Parish Church Hainfeld (Lower Austria)
The parish church of Hainfeld is raised in the southwest above the place Hainfeld in the municipality of Hainfeld in the district of Lilienfeld in Lower Austria . The Roman Catholic parish church consecrated to the Apostle Andreas - incorporated into the Göttweig Abbey - belongs to the Lilienfeld dean's office in the diocese of St. Pölten . The church and the former cemetery are under monument protection ( list entry ).
history
The Gothic church was probably built on the site of the older Hainfeld castle stables .
architecture
The church is surrounded by the formerly fortified, partly preserved late medieval quarry stone wall of a former cemetery. To the north, a section of the churchyard wall shows loopholes and the ledge of the former battlement.
The two-aisled church building has a choir with a five-eighth end and has three aisles in the third nave yoke, due to the opening to a southern side chapel. The mighty, well-fortified west tower, visible from afar, is offset to the side in front of the western front and has a stair tower on the side.
Furnishing
The winged high altar shows the pictures of the Mount of Olives and the Crown of Thorns , painted by Ludwig Haase in 1897. The two-row choir stalls are from the middle of the 18th century.
Johann Lachmayr built the organ in 1902 in a three-part neo-Gothic case.
