history
From 1940 the housing estate was built for the Nibelungen-Panzerwerke St. Valentin, a church was not planned. The pastor of St. Valentin at the time, Dean Leopold Höfinger, tried in vain to organize a church in Langenhart. A church building association was only founded in 1952 and on August 1, 1954 the groundbreaking ceremony for the church, which was built according to plans by the architect Josef Friedl , took place. On September 29, 1957, the church was consecrated by Bishop Coadjutor Franz Zak and on October 1, 1957 Langenhart was raised to an independent parish.
The church has a 50 meter high bell tower. The way of the cross of the church comes from Heinrich Tahedl . The Tyrolean sculptor Franz Pöhacker designed the altar relief from Untersberg marble on the theme of the life of the Virgin . In 1962 an organ from the Georg Windtner / St. Florian workshop was installed.
