Mary Assumption in Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis, Protected church on hilltop in Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis, Austria.

The five-bay church features late Gothic wall pillars, Romanesque nave walls, and pointed barrel vaults with Gothic-Baroque lunettes spanning the structure.

The church originated as a settlement parish in the early 12th century, with written records first mentioning Griesbach parish in 1223, referring to Pfarrkirchen.

The northern wall contains a Romanesque fresco from 1240/1250 depicting the martyrdom of John the Evangelist between two executioners.

The church sits within a circular walled cemetery with a gate tower, making it visible from various points in the surrounding Upper Austrian landscape.

Carlo Antonio Carlone led the complete Baroque transformation of the church interior from 1695 to 1697, incorporating existing Romanesque and Gothic elements.
