history
In 1115 a branch church of Stall was first mentioned in a document in Winklern . After the south-facing expansion around 1510, the church was consecrated in 1516 by Bishop Berthold von Chiemsee . In the same year she fell victim to the flames. The rebuilt church was consecrated again in 1521 by Bishop Berthold. In 1787, as part of the Josephine reforms , Winklern was detached from the mother parish of Stall and made an independent parish. In 1789 the Winklern parish came from the Archdiocese of Salzburg to the Diocese of Gurk . Around 1800 the parish church was redesigned and probably extended to the west. At the end of the 19th century until 1908 the interior was Gothicized .
Building description
The church is a late Gothic building from the 15th and 16th centuries. Triangular buttresses support the choir with a five-eighth end and pointed arch windows. There is a neo-Gothic altar in the small, arched room under the choir. The tower in the southern corner of the choir has pointed-arch sound windows and a pointed gable helmet. The Christophorus fresco on the south wall of the tower was created around 1470. The three-bay nave is extended on the south side by the width of the tower. The richly profiled portal on the south wall of the nave is marked with 1517 in the pointed arch field. On the south wall there are tombstones from the Biedermeier period .
In the nave, a baroque shallow barrel with stitch caps rises above wall pillars. In the west there is a two-story wooden gallery on wooden supports. The fresco of the Last Judgment with a coat of arms on the east wall of the nave was created in 1519. Above the two-bay choir, a ribbed vault rests on late Gothic round services that end in coat-of-arms consoles. In the middle vault area of the east yoke a painted Madonna and Child in a recessed quatrefoil with leaf and flower shapes from the beginning of the 16th century can be seen. On the south side of the western choir bay, a late-Gothic, iron-studded door leads to the rib-vaulted tower ground floor.
Facility
The high altar made by Johann Rotschopf in 1899 bears the statue of St. Lawrence in the central niche, the figures of St. Benedict and Rupert in the side niches and the sculpture of St. Martin in the top . The console figures presumably come from a carving workshop in Val Gardena . The organ was built around 1840/1850. The neo-Gothic font carries a sculpture of the baptism of Jesus . The neo-Gothic pulpit shows the reliefs of the evangelists on the parapet. The church also has a late Gothic carved figure of St. Ulrich . On the north wall of the nave there is an epitaph for Johann Ritter von Jenull, who was born in Winklern .
