Pfarrkirche Eschen

Pfarrkirche Eschen is a Catholic church featuring neo-Gothic architecture with a three-nave layout, wooden ceilings in the side aisles, and an open roof structure. The building was constructed in 1894 and reflects the craftsmanship of that era.

Archaeological evidence shows that an original stone church was built on this site during the 8th or 9th century. The current building was erected in 1894, replacing the earlier structure.

The church serves as a gathering place for monthly Fatima Saturday services held on the first Saturday, bringing the community together for prayers dedicated to world peace.

The church is open to visitors during daylight hours, with services held at set times. The parish office can be reached by phone or email for current information about masses and events.

The building houses a bell tower with five bells cast by the Grassmayr Bell Foundry in 1911, producing distinctive tones that ring across the area. An organ built by E. F. Walcker & Cie in 1980 completes the musical equipment of the church.
