history

A church building in St. Florian am Inn was mentioned in a document at the end of the 12th century. At the time of the early church organization in the Middle Ages, the parish church of St. Florian was the seat of the original parish of St. Weihflorian . Like the Münzkirchen parish , this consisted of areas that had originally belonged to the St. Severin parish in Passau's Innstadt . St. Weihflorian was first designated as an independent parish in 1182, when it was incorporated into the "Innbruckamt" in Passau. The “Innbruckamt” belonging to the St. Aegidien Hospital in the city center administered the Innbrücke as well as the parishes incorporated into the hospital, which were to be assigned by the respective “Bruckpfarrer”. In addition to St. Severin with Schardenberg and Wernstein , these also included the parishes of St. Weihflorian , Kellberg , Hauzenberg , Kopfing , Münzkirchen and Tettenweis . The parish of St. Weihflorian was very extensive: It lay between the area of ​​activity of the original parish of St. Severin and that of the original parish of Münsteuer and included the area of ​​today's parishes of Brunnenthal , Schärding , St. Florian am Inn, Suben , St. Marienkirchen and Eggerding , plus shares in today's parishes of Taufkirchen , Lambrechte and Rainbach . When the parish of St. Weihflorian was relocated to Schärding in 1380 , the previous parish of St. Florian became a branch of Schärding. It was only in the course of the Josephine reforms in 1785 that St. Florian was separated from the city parish of Schärding and made independent again as the patronage parish of the sovereign.

architecture

The Gothic two-aisled hall church has a three-bay nave with net star rib vaults similar to the pilgrimage church of Maria Schöndorf . The front arch is constricted. The three-bay choir, almost the same width as the nave, with a ribbed vault according to the Wechselberg figuration and a three-eighth end, is elevated and shifted slightly to the south in the axis. The buttresses are richly tiered.

Furnishing

The mighty high altar was built around 1760/1770. The side altars around 1700 were later changed. The Holy Family altar bears the statues Lorenz and Stephan around 1510/1520, probably later carved over. There are figural gravestones and heraldic gravestones from the 14th to 18th centuries.

In addition to the organ built by the Dutch company Flentrop in the sanctuary in 2017, there is also an organ in the gallery , which is no longer in use and in need of major renovation, by the Linz organ builder Johann Lachmayr from 1886. A bell was cast in 1530.
