Wieting parish church
The oldest documented mentions of the provost parish church of St. Margareta in Wieting (Carinthia) date from the period between 1180 and 1193 and between 1200 and 1206.
Exterior
The large church with crossing tower and chapel to the south of the choir is connected to the provost house to the west by a covered corridor. The exact construction history is unclear.
As part of a redesign of the church forecourt in 2008/2009, the street entrance was relocated and the square was separated from the street with steps. To the left of this is the former baptismal font , which has been converted into a fountain. On the right, under a steel and glass construction, there is a Roman-era, headless seated statue of the goddess Isis Norea and a stone figure of St. John Nepomuk . A planted pergola was erected on the south side . A votive inscription and spoilage can be found on the church building itself .
Interior
The core of the large flat-roofed nave is very likely to be Romanesque. In front of the triumphal arch one enters an open tower ground floor with a late Gothic star rib vault over mighty pillars; to the south and north of it, yokes with cross-ribbed vaults connect like a transept. Wall painting between 1446 and 1459 is presented in the star rib vault of the tower ground floor in front of the triumphal arch and in the two laterally adjoining yokes with cross rib vaults: keystones each with the coat of arms Laun von Haunstein, in the vault fields in the southern Sternjoch 4 coats of arms Laun, Hanau, Rugkendorff and Lembucher were used; in the Mitteljoch then Laun, Seissenegg, Anna Laun and Stegberg; in the northern side yoke there are 4 coats of arms Laun, Hanau, Laun, Laun.
A late Gothic one-bay choir is built over with a five-eighth end and ribbed vault on octagonal and round services. The viewer sees keystones in the vault of the choir and the tower yoke with Christ's head, the Lamb of God. A Gothic sacrament niche is protected by a grille. The paintings of the choir vault around 1620 include tail grotesques, Christ and Mary, angels with instruments of passion and saints; the vault paintings in the transept are provided with coats of arms and coat of arms stones of the Laun von Haunstein family (1446–59).
The sacristy adjoining the choir to the south, a transverse building with a five-eighth end and late Gothic ribbed vaulting on partly figural consoles, is probably to be seen as the remainder of the Romanesque round barn , consecrated in 1277 sive carnarium , which was originally free-standing and connected to the church interior as early as 1459 when the church was rebuilt and was converted into a sacristy. A late Gothic portal with an iron-studded door leads to the choir. Inside there are depictions of wall paintings, tendrils and fragmentary remains of a wall painting from the end of the 13th and beginning of the 16th century.
