The Roman Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary Vöcklamarkt is located in the municipality of Vöcklamarkt in the Vöcklabruck district in Upper Austria . It is dedicated to the feast of the Assumption of Mary and belongs to the Frankenmarkt dean's office in the Linz diocese . Because of its size, the church is known as the "Dom des Vöcklatals". The building is under monument protection ( list entry ).

history

The parish was first mentioned in a document in 1075. The current church was built between 1439 and 1512 in late Gothic style over a previous Romanesque building. The older date 1439 can be found above the north portal, today's entrance to the Anna Chapel. The choir was built in 1457, the altar was consecrated before 1489 by the Passau auxiliary bishop Albert Schönhofer . In the past, the building of the church was awarded to Stephan Wultinger , but this is not considered certain today. The master's shield with the stonemason's mark is attached to the west gallery from 1512 and does not correspond to Wultinger's stonemason mark. The relationship to other church buildings in Attergau, such as B. St. Georgen im Attergau or Weißenkirchen im Attergau is obvious. At the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th century, the church was redesigned in Baroque style: high altar in 1684, ceiling stucco by Johann Michael Vierthaler around 1712, frescoes by Mathias Sebastian Räbel from Vöcklabruck . In 1722 the tower was raised to its current height of 75 m and finished with a double onion helmet. The church was last renovated in 2016, the tower in 2009 and 2010.

The 75 m high church tower in the west has a double onion helmet . The main portal in the south is a rectangular framed shoulder arch portal with rich bars. A vaulted vestibule is built in front of it. The portal itself is late Gothic, above is a painting depicting Moses in front of the burning bush , a well-known episode from the Book of Exodus . The church has eleven high two- or three-lane pointed arch windows. The three windows in the three-sided end of the choir facing east are blocked today by the baroque high altar, which was built later. Most of the pointed arch windows show tracery forms of the Gothic stonemasonry.

The church is a large two-aisled hall church of remarkable height. Inside the church, as in Frankenmarkt , Baroque style . The vault of the four-bay nave rests on three slender round pillars. These reach a height of 14 meters and are of different designs (the first is roughened from the base to the end of the pillar, the second is smooth and the third is provided with a twelve-sided vertical groove, which rotates in a helical manner in the upper part). The choir is separated from the nave by a high, ogival triumphal arch with a decorative profile. The three-bay choir ends in the 3/8 end. The Gothic vault ribs were removed from both the nave and the choir at the beginning of the 18th century. Instead, the ceiling was fitted with pieces of foliage, ribbon and latticework from Johann Michael Vierthaler's workshop (1712). In the caps there are frescoes of the apostles, on the ceiling there are frescoes on the childhood, passion and resurrection stories of Jesus Christ by Mathias Sebastian Räbel (1726). The west gallery has two bays, four axles and is broken three times. It rests on ribbed vaults and has a splendid tracery parapet . In the vault approaches are late Gothic sculptures that are dated 1512. There is also rich stucco in the tower chapel.
