Parish church of St. Georgen im Attergau
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Georgen im Attergau is located in the municipality of St. Georgen im Attergau in the Vöcklabruck district in Upper Austria . It is consecrated to St. George and belongs to the Frankenmarkt dean's office in the Linz diocese . The building is under monument protection ( list entry ).
history
The Gothic church was built in several phases from 1400 onwards. The nave was built around 1500 by the Attergauer Bauhütte, probably with the help of Stephan Wultinger . The west gallery may not have been moved into the nave until the middle of the 16th century. In 2013 and 2014 the entire interior was renovated. A previous confirmation of findings took place in 2012 by the Federal Monuments Office .
architecture
- Church exterior
The parish church is a late Gothic hall church. The west tower from 1114 was renewed and raised after the fire of 1719 by Jakob Perwanger in 1722 and 1723. The onion helmet dates from 1823. The late Gothic south portal has a vaulted vestibule. The west portal has late Gothic garments.
- Church interior
The nave is a two-aisled hall church with an impressive ceiling height. The nave has five bays, above it is vaulting # mesh rib vault . The western yoke is the Liebfrauenkapelle, which has 3½ yokes. Above is the gallery. The rib vaulted choir has three bays and a 3/8 end. The four-axis west gallery rests on ribbed vaults with Romanesque capitals. The two-bay cross chapel north of the choir was built in 1728 and has a groin vault .
Furnishing
The interior decoration dates from the baroque period, whereby two different stylistic phases can be distinguished. The pulpit (1709, by the Mondsee sculptor Meinrad Guggenbichler ) and some statues (the Pieta in the confessional chapel, the two adoring angels on the right side altar) have been preserved from the first Baroque transformation . Pay particular attention to the figure of the “Good Shepherd” on the sound cover of the pulpit, whose slightly bent position is perfectly matched to the spatial conditions.
The high altar and the two side altars were built later and can be assigned to the so-called “courtly style” due to the use of stucco marble and stucco trappings. On the high altar, which was erected in 1753 by the stucco plasterer Franz Josef Holzinger from Schörflingen , the altarpiece by Bartolomeo Altomonte shows St. George slaying the dragon.
Stones from the Gothic altar consecrated in 1435 were built into the popular altar. In the cross chapel, built north of the choir in 1728, there is a larger than life crucifixion group from the vicinity of the Guggenbichler workshop.
organ
The two-manual Pirchner organ from 1991 with 21 stops is located in a case that is stylistically coordinated with the pulpit.
