Parish church Peuerbach
The Roman Catholic parish church of Peuerbach is located in the town of Peuerbach in the Grieskirchen district in Upper Austria . The church consecrated to St. Martin of Tours belongs to the deanery Peuerbach in the diocese of Linz . The church and the Kreuzkapelle with the churchyard are under monument protection .
history
A church was mentioned in a document in 1211. After a fire (1626) in the middle of the 17th century, the Gothic church building was newly vaulted and partly redesigned in Baroque style. In the north, a cruciform chapel was added in 1711/1721 by order of Countess Maria Josepha von Strattmann, influenced by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach . The church was restored in 1952.
architecture
The three-aisled, five-bay nave is connected to the hall church by a retracted three-bay barrel-vaulted choir with a three-eighth end. The spacious nave with high octagonal pillars has low ridge vaults, which Gothic can be perceived as a disturbance. The eastern yoke of the two side aisles are narrower, which is why this narrowing of the nave gives the effect of an antechamber, whereby the recesses with three statue niches placed one above the other create a special effect. The three-axis west gallery is arched with a cross ridge. The tower on the south side of the eastern nave yoke wears an onion helmet. On the third yoke of the north aisle is the cruciform chapel with a long-elliptical floor plan with three pressed cones and a drum-less dome with a lantern and a grille.
Furnishing
The high altar with paintings and statues dates from the second quarter of the 18th century, the two side altars from the middle of the 18th century. In the choir there is a painting Ecce homo in the manner of Bartolomeo Altomonte . The left side altar shows the baroque painting Beheading of St. Barbara, the right side altar is the painting of the Assumption by the painter Michael Steiner. The cross altar from 1712 has carved figures of Christ, God the Father, Helena and Heraclius. A luminous angel was created in the second half of the 17th century, the pulpit around 1730, a relief under the pulpit of the Good Samaritan from Kehlheimerstein around 1600.
The group of St. Martin on horseback at the south portal dates from the middle of the 15th century. On both sides St. Sebastian and St. Rochus date from the middle of the 18th century and heraldic gravestones from the 15th to 17th centuries.
The organ case is late baroque, a new Rieger organ was built into the case in 1982. A bell was cast in 1483.
The war memorial outside in the south with the figural group Lamentation of Christ was created by the sculptor Josef Furthner (1920).
The Martinsbrunnen on the square in front of the church was re-created in the course of the renovation (2015/16) with the bronze sculpture of St. Martin. The idea comes from Prof. Stockenhuber. The well is fed by the spring water of the legendary Peuerbacher Urteln (= medieval water supply system).
