St. Antonius Church (Bludenz)
The St. Anthony's Church is a Roman Catholic branch church of Stadtpfarre Holy Cross in the district Rungelin in Bludenz in Vorarlberg in Austria .
The church was built in 1668 on the site of a wayside shrine (1531) under the master mason Kaspar Barward and foreman Balthasar Purtscher and in 1669 in honor of St. Consecrated to Anthony of Padua . The nave with a choir under a gable roof has an attached sacristy to the west and a bell tower with a pointed helmet above the gable facade. The copper portal St. Antonius by the sculptor Josef Baumgartner is under a canopy.
The high altar from 1682 with its walnut structure, with two twisted columns with tinny, silver-plated grape tendrils, bears the altarpiece of St. Anthony with Mary and Child by the Bludenz painter Jakob Jehly from 1878. The figures are by Ignaz Waibl from 1682.
In the nave there is a fully sculpted Mother of God with child, a product of the Feldkirch carver Erasmus von Kern , whose works can also be seen in the church of St. Luzius in Göfis.
