The parish church of St. Koloman belongs to the deanery Perchtoldsdorf in the vicariate Unter dem Wienerwald of the Archdiocese of Vienna . The former Wintersbach Castle with its walling is a listed building .

history

A chapel of St. Koloman in Laab ( capellam beati Colomanni in Loupe ) is first mentioned in a document in 1200 in a certificate of ownership by Duke Leopold VI. for the Wiener Schottenstift , which had received it from the Babenbergers in the second half of the 12th century - possibly when it was founded in 1155 . This chapel was elevated to a parish church in 1265. When the Turks invaded in 1529 this church was destroyed, as a result the parish was not reoccupied, but instead was looked after by the parish Perchtoldsdorf for one and a half centuries .

The Thurnhof was not located on Kirchberg, but on Klosterberg, which had been given to Irnfried Aichberger as a fief in 1418 and to St. Dorothea Abbey in Vienna in 1490/1491, but was also destroyed in 1529. Christoph Ignaz Abele von Lilienfeld acquired the inventory in 1669 and built the four-winged Wintersbach Castle with an integrated Leopold or Trinity chapel. In 1678, the Schottenstift gave the nominally still existing patronage to the Laab manor. From 1769 to 1980 the palace complex was owned by the Landkomtur der Ballei Österreich of the Teutonic Order . In 1789 the chapel was expanded by merging it with the adjoining rooms to form the church. In 1865 the church with the castle was destroyed by fire. Of the former palace complex, only the wing with the church and rectory on the street side was rebuilt.

architecture

The nave and the rectory form a 13-axis, uniformly-faced structure parallel to the street. The facade from 1865 is designed profane in accordance with the former use as a castle wing. The building with pilasters is single-storey, on the left with six segmented arched windows of the nave, on the right six rectangular windows of the rectory. In the central axis there is a round arch portal in a rusting portal field with the groin vaulted passage and the access to the church and rectory. The north tower with pilaster strips from 1930 has arched sound windows and a constricted onion hood with a lantern. In the west, the retracted, polygonal choir adjoins the nave with the same eaves height.

The hall of the church is vaulted with a segment-arched flat barrel with a simple stucco mirror. In the west there is a gallery supported by pillars. Behind the triumphal arch with a segmental arch is the recessed, polygonal choir.

Furnishing

The high altar bears a crucifix with a larger-than-life body from the 1st quarter of the 16th century over a late historicizing canteen. The three baroque assistance figures from the first half of the 18th century were transferred from the Jesuit Church in Vienna to the Weis'sche Chapel in Laab im Walde in 1744, restored in 1852, and placed here in 1962. There is a baroque pietà with a setting from the 19th century. On the side of the nave there are two corresponding baroque altar leaves: The altar leaf hl. Joseph is inscribed Eques De Roettiers 1740 . The second altarpiece shows St. Koloman. The Stations of the Cross pictures were created around 1900. The font on a twisted wooden column shows the year 1715.

The organ was built by Johann M. Kauffmann (1927).
