Catholic parish church St. Gotthard

The parish church St. Gotthard is a Catholic worship building in the Mühlkreis region designed in the Late Baroque style, distinguished by its distinctive onion dome. The structure occupies a prominent elevated position that shapes the character of the local landscape.

Count Gundacker von Starhemberg transformed a chapel into the present church structure in 1711 on the Gad Gebal hill. This conversion established the site as a religious center for the surrounding area.

The church maintains its role as a central religious institution within the Diocese of Linz, organizing regular services and community gatherings.

The building sits on an elevated location and is accessible from multiple approach roads. Visitors should recognize that this remains an active place of worship where service times should be respected.

The church stands at 473 meters elevation, making it visible from multiple points in the surrounding Mühlkreis region of Upper Austria.
