Die Stadtpfarrkirche

Bruck an der Mur

Die Stadtpfarrkirche, am Nordrand der Altstadt, wurde im letzten Viertel des 13. Jahrhunderts an Stelle eines romanischen Vorgängerbaues erbaut. Die Kirche verfügt über einen gotischen Chor und einem Chorturm. Die Chorweihe fand im Jahr 1336 statt und 1498 wurde die Kirche zur Pfarrkirche erhoben.

At the southwest corner there is a late Gothic polygonal stair tower. In addition, the windows of the church have been partially redesigned in Baroque style, but there are also pointed arch windows and rectangular windows with late Gothic draperies.

On the north side there is a special late Gothic jewel: the pointed arched fluted sacristy portal with a remarkable late Gothic door that is adorned with filigree ornamental wrought iron fittings.

In the side chapel there is an altar from the 18th century, a late Gothic crucifix from the 15th century and two statues of Mary and John. In a niche there is a special treasure, the cast stone PietĂ , the twelve-sided font from the 1st quarter of the 15th century. Furthermore, two heads of processional poles with the statuettes of Saints Joseph and Rochus. There are also canvas prints of Ecce Homo, the Carrying of the Cross from the 17th century and the Last Supper from the 18th century.

There are also many inscriptions on tombstones in the choir: Caspar Ayrer, coat of arms gravestone Franz Ignaz Marchovitsch, coat of arms epitaph for Duke Ernst the Iron, coat of arms gravestones for Balthasar Siega, Michael Holzaphl and Vinzenz Freimuth.

Church tours also take place here regularly.
