history
The Göß monastery church was first mentioned in a document between 1060 and 1088. The current church, located south of the original one, is possibly identical to the St. Jakob chapel mentioned around 1590.
The late Gothic church is from the 15th and 16th centuries. The free-standing Romanesque choir tower of the previous building is 6 m north of the parish church. The side chapel north of the late Gothic choir is Romanesque in the core of the wall and probably the former charnel house of the cemetery.
architecture
The late Gothic church building with the free-standing high Romanesque tower of the previous church is surrounded by a formerly fortified cemetery.
The exterior of the church shows a slightly retracted choir with buttresses with a southern sacristy and a northern side chapel. All roofs are covered with stone slabs. The choir carries an eight-sided roof turret. A brick porch is attached to the west front of the nave. In the vestibule there is a stone sacrificial table and a holy water basin made of Gothic spolia. A Roman-era sewer cover plate is walled up in one of the pillars of the vestibule.
The interior of the church shows a four-bay nave under a ribbed vault from the 16th century, the vault rests on consoles to the north and on recessed pillars to the south. The three-axis west gallery is vaulted under the groin, a console mentions 1527. The south wall has two-lane tracery windows. The triumphal arch is ogival. The one-bay choir with a three-eighth closure has a decorative, ribbed net vault from the 16th century and baroque window openings.
Furnishing
The simple late baroque high altar around 1780 has a carved statue of St. Martin. The side altars from the middle of the 18th century were attributed to the workshop of Johann Pacher , they have the carved figures Georg, Laurentius and Stephanus on the left and Madonna flanked by adoring angels on the right.
The font is late Gothic.
A bell was made around 1500.
Free standing tower
The Romanesque east tower and choir tower of the previous church is a mighty five-storey building from the first half of the 13th century, it is structured on the east side with pilaster strips and also shows fragments of the former nave wall. The arched sound windows are coupled to the south. The buried basement of the tower shows a walled, arched entrance to the south. The tower has a late Gothic eight-sided spire from the 16th century.
The interior of the tower shows on the ground floor a burr reticulated vault from the 16th century, which is the same as that of the parish church. In 1987 the tower ground floor was adapted from the mortuary.
