history

The Altmünster district of Neukirchen used to be called Viechtau and Miesenbach. Viechtau is first mentioned in a document in 1346. From the construction of the church in the 1750s, the name Neukirchen became common because people went to the "new church". In the course of the introduction of postcodes (1965), the name of the town was finally changed from Neukirchen in der Viechtau to today's Neukirchen bei Altmünster.

The residents were originally parish in Altmünster and partly in Traunkirchen. The difficulty of going to church, according to a government official's letter, was "a condition favoring the growth of Protestant homes". In 1753, the court chamber in Vienna ordered the salt minister in Gmunden by decree to build a simple church and parsonage in the Viechtau. The church was completed just a year later. From 1754 to 1787 the church was called a mission station , then it was raised to the parish exposition of Altmünster, i.e. a pastoral care district without its own asset management. The sacristy is dated to 1798, the church tower to 1840.

On August 5, 1846, after the church had existed for 92 years, it was consecrated to the patronage of "Maria Schnee". In the course of the dissolution of the manors and the formation of political communities from 1849, Neukirchen was also set up as a community. The owner of the Großalm am Höllengebirge became the first and only mayor, and in 1861 it was merged with the market town of Altmünster. In 1855 a cemetery was laid out, until then the deceased were brought to Altmünster. In 1867 Neukirchen became a vicariate, this was a spatially delimited area, which was headed by a permanent pastor - the parish vicar . In 1891 Neukirchen became an independent parish and Maria Schnee became a parish church.

In the 1950s the church was completely renovated. The annex to the rectory and the new Josefskapelle date from 1964. The bell ringing was electrified in 1965. In 2000 the sacred building was renovated again.

Church furnishings

The Maria Schnee parish church is a simple baroque, barrel-vaulted sacred building from 1754. The baroque high altar originally stood in the Vienna Minorite Church and was erected around 1780 in Neukirchen.

In 1902 the onion dome was replaced by a pointed tower. The new organ has been in service since 1962. In 1972 the previous pulpit was adapted as an ambo . In the course of the liturgical reform, the communion bench was also removed.
