Parish Church Perchtoldsdorf
The Roman Catholic parish church Perchtoldsdorf stands on the market square in the area of the former Perchtoldsdorf Castle in the market town of Perchtoldsdorf in the Mödling district in Lower Austria . The parish church of St. Augustinus belongs to the deanery Perchtoldsdorf in the vicariate Unter dem Wienerwald of the Archdiocese of Vienna . The parish church with the churchyard and the figurines is a listed building .
history
The church was built in the eastern courtyard within the former castle fortifications. In 1217 the parish elevation of the castle chapel St. Maria mentioned in a document. In 1236 the castle was destroyed, the church restored and re-consecrated in 1270. From 1336 to 1338 the so-called ducal chapel was built under the patronage of St. Nicholas under Albrecht II. Today it forms the southern side choir . The construction of the ducal chapel was followed by the demolition of the late Romanesque church and the construction of today's three-aisled choir, including the ducal chapel. The consecration took place in 1362. After the western yoke of the ducal chapel was demolished, the nave of the church was erected in 1435 under Pastor Thomas Ebendorfer von Haselbach. It was consecrated in 1449. The exterior was restored in 1967/1975, while interior restorations took place in 1983/1985 and for the 800th anniversary in 2017.
architecture
The late Gothic hall church with a high Gothic, three apsidial staggered hall choir based on the model of St. Stephan in Vienna has an equally wide and higher nave.
- Church exterior
The stone block construction stands under steep roofs. The nave with a strongly sloping north-west corner has slightly stepped, gabled buttresses and high three- to four-lane tracery windows with cross arches, passes and fish bladders . The western front has a rich late Gothic structure with cross braces and pegs . It was destroyed in 1683 after a gable collapse in the upper area and added again. The profiled, keeled pointed arch portal lies under a tracery frieze. Above it lies a bricked-up tracery window, to one side of which is a reinforced shoulder portal from the end of the 15th century, probably a former connecting portal to the hall. The nave has a polygonal stair tower with a stone helmet and a finial attached to the north . The stair tower has a small vaulted net-ribbed vestibule from the second half of the 15th century with a pointed arched side portal with a tympanum relief Coronation of Mary , probably around 1362. On the south side of the nave there is another corresponding stair tower with rectangular, barbed windows and an onion dome and a two-storey one , late Gothic vestibule with a ribbed vault under a monopitch roof with corner buttresses with curved monopitch roofs built around 1500. The extension has three pointed arch portals, some of which are cross-linked, with two-lane tracery windows and cross-linked rectangular windows above. In the vestibule to the south there is a profiled pointed arch portal with a tympanum relief of the Death of the Virgin from 1440/1449. The coats of arms of Austria and Hungary with emblems of the Dragon Order can be seen on consoles under the relief .
- Church interior
The nave is almost square with four central supports with star rib vaults on octagonal angular pillars with round services or wall pillars and in the side aisles on ribbed triple beams. Next to the south portal is a Gothic stone head. Above the north portal are painted dates with 1696 to 1983. The transition to the choir aisles is formed by three pointed arched fluted triumphal arches, the central triumphal arch is higher.
The three-axis organ gallery on profiled pointed arches is asymmetrically arched with a mesh rib vault. The gallery parapet has tracery. The middle section of the gallery was moved forward in 1882 and thus expanded and received a neo-Gothic parapet.
The choir continues in the same width as the nave. The four-bay main choir and the two-bay side choirs each close with a five-eighth ending . The ribbed vaults rest on octagonal pillars with all round services. The pillars between the main choir and the south choir are somewhat more massive and thus indicate the breakthrough to the former ducal chapel. Like the polygons, the main yoke between the two side yoke polygons has a six-part rib vault. The south choir has a base profile from the renovation at the end of the 19th century and has bundle pillars with simple polygonal figure canopies. The main choir has a sacrament house on the north wall with a pointed arch niche with a late Gothic wrought iron grille from the 14th century and in the south wall a three-part late Gothic session niche with an overarching beveled pointed arch tracery. In the vault of the main choir, there are five keystones in relief from the 14th century and a subsequently applied and partly gilded final relief made of wood, the Lamb of God from the 19th century.
On the occasion of the 800th anniversary in 2017, an interior renovation was carried out, during which the pulpit was removed.
Furnishing
The high altar from the first third of the 18th century with twisted (twisted) columns and pilasters above a high base zone has sacrificial portals on the side.
The organ as so-called well after the composer Franz Schmidt named (1874-1939) Franz Schmidt Organ built Johann Pirchner (1985).
In 2017, the parish was given an oriental nativity scene, which was owned by Johannes Heesters , from his daughter. The crib, a work by Sebastian Osterrieder, found a place in the church.
