Filial church St. Peter am Bichl

history

The building was first mentioned in a document in 1399. It remained an independent parish church until 1561. It then became a branch of Karnburg and is now a branch church of the Zweikirchen parish.

Building

The Romanesque choir tower church with an early Gothic choir extension dates from the last third of the 13th century and has a nave that was expanded in 1858. The compact, strongly rectangular tower has four Romanesque double acoustic windows with separating pillars. These are Roman in style and have been secondary worked. At the small, three-sided choir there are clumsy, stepped buttresses and you can see an early Gothic window. Under the choir is an ossuary opened in 1970 . In the north there is a Gothic sacristy , which was restored in 1977 and 1998. Two Carolingian wattle stones (8th / 9th centuries) are walled in on the west facade above the church portal as secondary use. Presumably it is a sarcophagus gable and arch with gable from the presbytery passage . Above it is a rose window from the coffered ceiling of a Roman grave adicula . A Romanesque grave slab more than 2 meters high with an engraved cross bar and two faces in the upper area is walled in on the south wall of the church.

The interior of the nave has a flat plaster ceiling. A Maria Immaculate is shown in the ceiling painting . The choir is barrel vaulted. In 1977 frescoes from the end of the 14th century were exposed on the north wall of the ship. They show the epiphany and adoration . A tombstone from 1543 can be seen in the wall below, and a bowl stone in the stone floor below .

Facility

The baroque high altar with cartilage on the side dates from the middle of the 17th century. In the shrine there is a figure of the apostle Peter . Smaller assistant figures are on the left of St. Ulrich , on the right St. Valentine . The wooden antependium shows Peter with the angel in prison.

In the picture on the left side altar from around 1720, the stoning of St. Stephen depicted. In a tabernacle-like shrine stands a small figure of St. Joseph . The coats of arms of Count Clemens Ferdinand von Kaiserstein and his wife Elisabeth can be seen in the top.

The right side altar was rebuilt in the 19th century. The painting (labeled And. Melchior 1863 ) shows the hll. Augustine and Ruprecht . Below is a figure of St. Laurentius . The coronation of Mary is shown in the top picture.

To the left of the entrance is a late Gothic font . On the south wall are paintings from the 19th century depicting the Holy Family , a Pietà and the stoning of St. Show Stephen at the gates of Jerusalem .

Private chapel

This chapel, built by the Gottesbacher family, was blessed on July 6, 2018 by the diocesan administrator Engelbert Guggenberger. It stands on the estate of the installer family. A 108 kg bell from an Innsbruck foundry hangs in the tower.

fire Department

A volunteer fire brigade , the FF St. Peter Stegendorf, has existed together with Stegendorf since 1880 . It is noteworthy that this continues to exist, although the two original communities were incorporated into different communities during the community reform in 1973 .
