history

At first there was a chapel with a miraculous image after the vow of the cowherd Bartl in 1747. In the year the parish was founded in 1783, a parish church was built according to the plans of the builder Philipp Schlucker . In 1996 the church was restored outside and in 1994 inside.

architecture

The late baroque hall church with a retracted flat-arched choir has an exposed west tower.

The nave under a gable roof has simple facades and rounded corners and segmented arched windows. The facade tower with corner pilasters and portal has a steep pyramid helmet. Flanking the portal are the sculpted figures Peter and Paul from the second half of the 18th century. A single-storey sacristy extension from the second half of the 19th century is located in the northern choir corner.

The interior of the church has a nave with a flat mirror vault. The western organ gallery stands on wooden pillars. The triumphal arch is flat arched. The semicircular choir has a flat lancet barrel vault.

Furnishing

The facility is from the construction period. The high altar is a pilaster colonade with entablature placed in the apse, on the cornice with the group of statues of the Holy Trinity, in the center with the high altar picture Mariahilf 1748 in a corona frame, on the side the figures of Hll. Anna and Joachim, with a tabernacle flanked by statues of angels on a sarcophagus-shaped altar table.

The side altars as two similar late Baroque retables from 1765 were initially commissioned by Maria Theresa for the parish church of Laxenburg and were transferred here in 1783, the altars have large oval altar leaves, Theresa of Avila on the left, the imperial family at the feet of St. Franz Regis, with sarcophagus-shaped altar tables with embedded glass shrines with the statuettes on the left St. Rochus and St. Sebastian.

The pulpit shows reliefs of the church fathers and a bust of St. Bernhard.

Christoph Erler built the organ in a classicist case in 1816. Johann Georg Fielgrader and Johann Caspar Hofbauer named a bell in 1799.
