St. Michael in Häg is a Catholic parish church that was built in the 1890s in the neo-Romanesque style. The organ from 1888 is a listed building . Häg has around 660 Catholics who are spread across the various suburbs. Together with Zell im Wiesental and its suburb Atzenbach, the parish forms a pastoral care unit as part of the Wiesental dean's office .
history
The municipality of Häg was looked after by the parish of Zell im Wiesental for several centuries and was only raised to the status of its own parish in 1779 . The first church, consecrated on July 31, 1791 by Auxiliary Bishop Wilhelm Leopold von Baden , burned down in 1886.
Two years after the fire, the foundation stone was laid for a new church on the same site, which was consecrated in 1895. A comprehensive renovation took place between 1977 and 1978.
description
Church building
The church of St. Michael is on the southwestern outskirts of Häg on Dorfstrasse. The neighboring cemetery is located in an elongated strip, which, like the church, is separated from the sloping road by a wall about two meters high. The building consists of a rectangular hall structure, to which a very small entrance hall is built on the west side, and to the east is the somewhat recessed, polygonal choir and sacristy . All three structures are covered by saddle roofs that run parallel to one another ; the roof over the choir is slightly hipped . The nave has three narrow, rounded, lead-glazed windows on each of its long sides. There is another entrance hall to the west. On the outer wall of the sacristy, an epitaph commemorates Häg's first pastor, Johann Georg Benkle († 1796).
On the west side rises a roof turret with a square floor plan , which has rectangular sound arcades on each side . Above that there is a clock face of the tower clock in four gable triangles. The tower is completed by an eight-sided pyramid roof with a tower ball and cross.
Interior and outfit
The interior of the church is drawn in with a flat ceiling. The nave and the slightly raised choir are separated from each other by a triumphal arch . There are side altars on either side of the arch. Both these and the main altar in the choir come from a workshop in Val Gardena . The celebration altar consists of shell limestone with a bronze substructure; the ambo is made of bronze.
organ
The organ of Xaver monk was built in 1888 and is now a listed building. The instrument with mechanical playing and stop action works with a cone door and has two manuals , a pedal and twelve stops . In 1978 it was restored by the Späth organ workshop .
