history

A chapel in Haunsperg Castle was documented in 1402 . When the castle fell into disrepair, Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun decided to build a church at his own expense. In 1706, architect Jacob Huber from Salzburg began building the church using stones from the former castle, which was consecrated on September 18, 1707 by Archbishop-Coadjutor Franz Anton von Harrach .

In 1733 the old chapel was repaired because a pilgrimage had taken place there. In 1758 a sacristan's house and a little later the “ecclesiastical Stöckl” was built. Even then (as it is today) there was a bar trade here. 1769 subordinated Archbishop Sigismund III. Christoph von Schrattenbach took over the church of the Hofkammer and declared St. Pankraz am Haunsberg a cappella regia . Today's gate building with the adjacent Stöckl, the former sacristan's house and today's inn "Schlössl" was built in the 18th century and is likely to stand on the site of the gate building of the old castle.

The last restoration of the church was completed with an altar consecration by Archbishop Alois Kothgasser on September 16, 2007.

architecture

The church is an example of a high baroque sacred building with correspondingly magnificent baroque furnishings. Two semicircular closed transepts were added to the short nave under a gable roof at the central yoke. The short choir bay closes with a round apse. Two-storey sacristies were added to the choir in the north and south. On the west facade with a gable front, the tower protrudes partially in the middle. The portal shows the coat of arms of Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun by the sculptor Bernhard Michael Mandl (1707). Above the coat of arms is an oval window and above it the multi-part tower with arched sound windows and a baroque onion helmet. On the side of the tower there are tall rectangular niches in the facade. The west facade is wider than the nave thanks to the spiral staircases on the side. The facade of the church is structured by pilasters and a surrounding, heavily profiled cornice.

Inside the church, the nave and the choir stand under a segmented arch barrel with semicircular closed side apses. The crossing is groin vaulted. The windows are upright rectangular. Above the baroque sacristy doors in the choir are square oratorio windows with stucco frames. Both sacristies have flat ceilings. In the west of the nave, doors lead to the spiral stairs of the two-story west gallery. The first gallery is curved in a baroque style with stucco. The second gallery was built in 1848. The room was divided up with pilasters and a surrounding, heavily profiled cornice with stucco work by plasterer Josef Schmidt (1707).

The stained glass windows hll. Notburga and Isidor were created around 1950.
