Kleinholz pilgrimage church
The pilgrimage church Maria Hilf is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the Kleinholz district of the city of Kufstein in the Austrian state of Tyrol .
history
A chapel was mentioned in a document before 1600. The origin of the pilgrimage goes back to the Kufstein master baker Johann Schiestl and his wife Katharina Lettenbichlerin, who built a brick chapel around 1670 and had a copy of the miraculous image painted for it. The original chapel was enlarged with the money left by the two donors. The baroque central building was built from 1679 to 1681. From 1899 to 1902, the inside of the former drum dome was replaced by a flat ceiling. The pilgrimage church was restored from 1972 to 1980.
Pilgrimage church
The pilgrimage church with a cruciform floor plan has a nave with two short transverse arms. The north, east and west sides with pilasters show a gable facade with a gable roof. A protruding octagonal tower was integrated into the gable facade on the south side. The round central area shows itself inside through the rounded corners and outside with the drum hood. The entrance and main facade in the north forms a three-axis vestibule with arched arcades with square vaults. Inside the church is vaulted lengthways and crossways with flat barrels with lance caps and has two galleries in the north. The fresco Adoration of the Precious Blood of Christ on the flat ceiling was painted in 1939 by the painter Richard Holzner.
The baroque high altar from 1711 shows the altarpiece of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary and bears the figures of St. John the Evangelist and St. James. A copy of the miraculous image of Mary Help can be seen in front of the high altar . The left side altar around 1730 carries the statues of Saints Ignatius von Loyola and Franz Xavier. The right side altar around 1730 shows the altarpiece Marriage of Apollonia and bears the statues of Saints Barbara and Apollonia.
In the choir oratorio there are canvas paintings of the twelve apostles around 1700, a canvas painting of Christ gives St. Francis gave the portiuncula indulgence with the granting of indulgence privilege to Kleinholz around 1700. There is a carved and painted crucifix on a cross with a coat of arms from 1690 and a Gothic font as a baptismal font.
The organ with rococo case was built around 1770. One bell dates from 1617.
Monastery and retreat house
In 1922, on the initiative of Father Emil Kofler (1888–1950) , the Missionaries of the Precious Blood founded the monastery and retreat house next to the pilgrimage church. According to the plans of the architect Clemens Holzmeister , the monastery was built for the missionaries in 1923 and a retreat house was added in 1928. Like the pilgrimage church, the mission building with chapel is a listed building.
The current rector of the pilgrimage church, the monastery and the retreat house is Father Andreas Hasenburger CPPS, who from 2007 to June 25, 2019 also held the function of provincial of the German-speaking province of his religious community .
