St. Martin parish church, Neoclassical parish church in Dornbirn, Austria

St. Martin parish church is a neoclassical hall church on the Marktplatz in Dornbirn, built 1839–1840 to plans by Martin Kink. Its main front is a monumental Ionic temple facade of six freestanding columns under a pediment, with a mosaic of Christ's entry into Jerusalem by Josef Huber (1924). A separate Gothic tower from 1453 stands to the north, raised in 1767 to 64 metres.

A church on this site is first documented in 1130, with a priest recorded in 1266. The Gothic tower of 1453 survives from an earlier building enlarged and baroquised after a fire in 1669–1670. The present neoclassical nave was built in 1839–1840 to plans by Martin Kink, keeping the tower, which was raised to 64 metres in 1767. Bishop Vinzenz Gasser consecrated it on 3 September 1857.

The church is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Dornbirn deanery in the Diocese of Feldkirch. Its 1923 fresco cycle by Josef Huber covers the entrance wall: Christ as judge, the entry of warriors into heaven with Saints Martin and Mary, and the church fathers Augustine, Jerome and Chrysostom alongside Dante, Milton, Michelangelo, Dürer, Rubens and Signorelli.

The main entrance faces the Marktplatz through a portico of six Ionic columns; the free-standing Gothic tower stands to the north. The old cemetery around the church became part of the Martinspark, and the Friedhof Markt lies about 300 metres east behind the town hall.

The 64-metre tower survives from a Gothic church of 1453 and was raised to its present height in 1767; the classical nave was rebuilt around it in 1839–1840. A 1901 plan by Hanns Kornberger and Josef Schöch to classicise the tower was never carried out.
