Rinkenberg parish church
The Roman Catholic parish church Rinkenberg is consecrated to St. Florian and is surrounded by a cemetery wall with a baroque portal in the village of Rinkenberg / Vogrče in the municipality of Bleiburg .
history
The church was designated as a parish as early as 1251 and probably emerged from a separate church . Via the Juneckers and Spanheimers , it came under sovereign patronage. In 1475 the Turks burned the church down. Then it was renewed and gradually colored in.
Building description
Today's church is a medium-sized, late Gothic building. Two-tiered buttresses support the choir. On the southern wall of the choir is a St. Christopher fresco from the 19th century. The Slovene caption means: "St. Christopher tells us that you shouldn't curse and scold". On the north side of the choir stands the church tower with two-part sound windows and a pointed gable helmet. The bell was cast by Lorenz Pez in 1669. To the east of the tower there is a baroque sacristy . There is a profiled round arch portal on the southern wall of the nave. A Roman epitaph for the local Capito, Marica and Ateduna is immured on the western outer wall. The large porch with remains of a patronized (stencil painting) flat ceiling is the width of the nave. In it there is an outer pulpit in the form of a bricked, polygonal pulpit from the 18th century.
A star-ribbed vault rises above the two-bay nave on wall templates with circular services from the first quarter of the 16th century. The west gallery with tracery parapet over a pressed round arch is vaulted with mesh ribs. The staircase to the gallery leads through a barbed portal with a straight lintel over a Gothic stone spiral staircase. The heavily drawn-in triumphal arch is marked 1522. The one-bay choir with a five-eighth end in the width of the nave is lower than this and has pointed arched windows at the end of the choir. A ribbed vault rests on consoles from the 14th century above the choir. The sacristy has a barrel vault.
Murals
The 15th century wall paintings in the choir were exposed in 1978. St. Florian and scenes of his martyrdom are depicted on the south wall of the choir. On the opposite side the judgment of the world and the carrying of the cross are shown. In addition to a Madonna, other saints can be seen. The twelve apostles in round medallions are attributed to the master von Einersdorf .
Facility
The high altar is dated 1749 in a chronogram . In the central niche, the altar hides the statue of St. Florian, which is flanked on the inside by the figures of St. Martin and Bartholomew and on the outside by Anthony the Great and a figure with a scallop shell and ladder. This figure is either Saint Alexius dressed as a pilgrim or the Apostle James . The altarpiece is formed by a dove of the Holy Spirit and a God the Father floating in clouds , surrounded by angels and two saints.
The two side altars date from the third quarter of the 18th century. At the left altar in the central niche there is a statue of Our Lady in a halo, flanked by two religious saints and the figure of John the Baptist in the top. On the right altar is the statue of St. Catherine at the bottom and the statue of the Evangelist Luke at the top .
In the vestibule there is a Florianial tar from the second half of the 17th century. It shows Saint Florian in the middle picture, including a holy head depiction and in the essay the Holy Trinity .
The late Gothic font bears a maker's mark.
