history

In Nussdorf a Gothic chapel was mentioned as early as 1411, which was consecrated to the Apostle Thomas . It stood at Sickenberggasse 2 and has been rebuilt and expanded several times over the centuries. In 1456 an own chaplain was appointed to read mass in the chapel every Wednesday and Friday. As the chapel turned out to be too small over time and numerous mass foundations had been made, Nussdorf first applied for his own monastery priest in 1704. This application was just as unsuccessful as the new applications in 1728 and 1731. Nussdorf continued to belong to the parish of Heiligenstadt .

It was only through the Josephine reforms that Nussdorf was elevated to an independent parish. Joseph II dissolved numerous monasteries and used the confiscated assets to expand the parish. On November 30, 1783, the first Sunday in Advent , the newly appointed pastor of Nussdorf was led to the St. Thomas Chapel. On December 6th, the new pastor Coloman Degen was confirmed. Extensive construction work followed. The Klosterneuburg Abbey , which was in charge of the parish , bought the so-called flour knife house on Neusiedel in 1785 and converted the flour knife house into a parsonage. The new parish church was built in place of the press house. It was carried out by Josef Reymund according to plans by the imperial court architect Josef Gerl . The new church was consecrated on November 18, 1787. The Thomas Chapel, on the other hand, was damaged by fire in 1790 and was probably converted into the required schoolhouse in 1790. In 1965 the building was finally demolished.

Structure and equipment

The Nussdorf parish church is a simple and typical building for the time. The cafeteria of the high altar, the communion bench and the benches come from the abandoned church of the Augustinian Canons in Dorotheergasse . The high altar picture shows the incredulous Thomas, a painting by Paul Haubenstricker from the year 1787. An oil painting with the portrait of Maria, Heil der Kranken can be found at the rear side entrance. The most valuable object of the church is the classical tabernacle by the famous architect Joseph Kornhäusel from the Biedermeier period .

The organ of the parish church Nussdorf comes from the Viennese company Johann M. Kauffmann and has 11 registers on 2 manuals and pedal .
