history

The place where the current church stands near Haunsberg goes back to the 8th century. When the first church was built is not known, in the 13th century it is mentioned in a document as a branch church of Berndorf . The church was rebuilt in 1476, in 1640 it received a new tower, and in 1728 and 1750 it had to be expanded.
It had been a vicariate church since 1683, and in 1867 it was elevated to a parish church . In a major fire on April 5, 1913, in which a total of 21 larger objects were destroyed, the church and tower also burned down to the walls.
The Linz cathedral master builder Matthäus Schlager led the reconstruction in the neo-Gothic style . In 1914 the altar carpenter Vinzenz Pezzei created the high altar , which was decorated with statues by Josef Bachlechner and an altar sheet by Josef Gold .

During the major fire on April 5, 1913, the organ that Ludwig Mooser had created in 1847 also burned . As a result, organ builder Albert Mauracher delivered a new pneumatic instrument in 1913. It was his opus 116 and should be one of his last works.
In 2015 the organ was renovated by master organ builder Wolfgang Bodem from Leopoldsdorf near Vienna.

This is why Georgian churches often stand above pagan places of worship that were Christianized by these missionaries. According to a legend, knight Georg killed the dragon with his lance and thus symbolically overcame pre-Christian forms of belief and led to Christianity .
