Filialkirche hl. Hubertus, Sekirn

The Hubertus Church in Sekirn is a modern church building constructed in 1976 with a simple, tent-like design that fits quietly into the landscape. It features a small bell tower, a wall image of Saint Hubertus, and interior windows of blown glass that create soft light throughout the space.

The building was established in 1976 with support from a donation by Helmut Horten and has served the local community since its construction. The windows were replaced in the late 1980s with modern blown glass.

The church is dedicated to Saint Hubertus, the patron of hunters and forests, reflecting the hunting traditions of this region. The simple design and placement of the building show how it serves as a natural part of the community and its daily life.

The church sits close to Lake Wörth and is easily reached from the lakeshore or nearby resting spots along the water. It offers a quiet place to pause and take in the surroundings, especially when walking along the lake.

The bell inside the church was cast in Karlsruhe, bringing a piece of German craftsmanship to this Austrian location. It is a rare detail showing how communities were connected across borders for important religious pieces.
