Stockenboi parish church
The parish church of Stockenboi in the parish of Stockenboi is dedicated to St. Nicholas . Because of its location on a raised hilltop, the sacred building is also called the Bichl Chapel.
The church was first mentioned in a document in 1499, and it is reported that it was consecrated in 1513. Since the Stockenboier Graben was a center of secret Protestantism , a Servite mission station was established here from 1752 to 1780 . The monastery building was built in 1761/1762 by the same master builder who also built the mission stations in Innerteuchen and Zedlitzdorf .
Building description
The Gothic church underwent structural changes during the Baroque period . The nave with a western roof turret and the lower choir are supported by angular, simply stepped buttresses . The windows on the nave are rectangular, those on the choir are ogival. A late Gothic window has been preserved on the north-facing sacristy annex . On the south side of the nave there is a beveled, round-arched portal, on the west side a round-arched portal, above it a small rectangular window. A large late Baroque crucifixion group can be seen on the south wall .
The three-bay nave with a flat barrel vault is shifted to the north opposite the choir. The large wooden gallery stands on four thin wooden supports. A late Gothic triumphal arch with a pointed arch connects the nave with the two-bay choir with a five-eighth end . In the choir, a ribbed vault with round keystones rests on semicircular wall templates. A chamfered portal with a pressed round arch leads into the groin-vaulted sacristy.
The high altar, built around 1730, was supplemented with a neo-Gothic attachment and canopies for the side figures. The altar bears the statues of a Madonna and Child, flanked by Saints Katharina and Ottilie . The upper picture shows Maria with child.
The middle picture of the side altar from the end of the 17th century depicts Our Lady of Sorrows . The pulpit from the second half of the 18th century is decorated with images of the evangelists . On the walls are the paintings of an Adoration of the Magi from 1692 and an Adoration of the Shepherds from 1693.
