St. Michael (Jahrings)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael in the Lower Austrian village of Jahrings is a Josephine hall church , which was probably built in 1784 on the foundations of a previous building, extended to the west in 1873 and equipped with a tower in 1874 . The building, which is surrounded by a cemetery, is a listed building . Jahrings was raised to parish for the first time in 1330. From 1783 it was an independent local chaplaincy . Today's parish has existed since 1891 and belongs to the Zwettl deanery .
description
A square, slightly indented choir and the sacristy adjoin the simple nave with a smooth gable front . The tower has domed arched windows on the west and north sides and is crowned by a pointed helmet. The interior of the five-bay nave has oblong square vaults between belt arches . A round triumphal arch rises below it . The music gallery rests on wooden pillars. The choir is almost square and, like the nave, has a square vault. The high altar picture, a work by Sepp Zöchling from 1976, is flanked by Baroque figures of Saints Peter and Paul from 1752. They were transferred here from the former high altar of the Friedersbach parish church . The baptismal font is dated to the end of the 17th / beginning of the 18th century. The organ was built in 1906 by Franz Capek . The bells were cast in 1811, 1953 and 1954.
Two classicist tombstones from the first half of the 19th century can be seen at the cemetery .
