Church of the Sorrowful Mother of God, Stadl

Highlight • Religious Site

As early as 1860, the people of Stadler decided to build a church. She no longer wanted to put up with the fact that the children had to travel up to two hours to the school fair regardless of the weather: to Engelhartszell, to St. Aegidi, to St. Roman. But even the elderly often no longer came to any church. Quite a few died without the sacraments because the oversight was too great. The permission to build a church was not granted. The population did not decrease. The driving force was the Engelhartszell cooperator, Rudolf Baron von Buschmann, who made unforgettable contributions to the building of the church. Even before the construction plans, which had been rejected several times, finally arrived on April 8, 1905, the population had long since started work. From Vienna came a "very high donation" from the imperial family of 1000 crowns.

The parish of Engelhartszell was first documented in 1214 and 1227. A church probably already existed at that time. The beautiful parish church of Engelhartszell stands on a rock in the town center and can be reached from the market via a staircase with 62 steps. The church has a baroque interior that is worth seeing.

A rarity is hidden in the triumphal arch to the chancel: behind the statue of Saint John you can see a rectangular recess - the position for a rood screen! In the Middle Ages, the choir room (= altar room) was only accessible to clergy and was separated from the "secular" nave by a richly decorated partition wall, the rood screen.
