Saint Blaise parish church in Abtenau, Parish church in Abtenau, Austria.

Saint Blaise parish church in Abtenau is a church building with a prominent bell tower and displays architectural details typical of Austrian religious structures. The building combines elements from different construction periods and serves as an active place of worship for the local community.

A church in Abtenau was first documented in 1191 under Archbishop Adalbert III, and the core of the present building was erected in 1313, then dedicated to Saint Anne. After a late Gothic rebuilding phase completed in 1501, a fire during the Peasants' War damaged the church in 1525, and the vault and tower were repaired by 1540. In 1533 it became a monastery parish of St. Peter's Abbey in Salzburg, a status it still holds.

The church was first dedicated to Saint Anne and only later to Saint Blaise, whose patronage is documented in 1411. The Anna chapel altar of 1684 shows Saint Anne placing Abtenau under the protection of the Christ Child, painted on a scroll. The Abtenau Christ Child, a blessing figure of 1685 known locally as "s'foaste Kindl", stands left of the triumphal arch.

The church stands at the eastern end of the Abtenau market square, reachable on foot from the village centre. The original church site is presumed beneath the western part of the right nave, where a barrel-vaulted crypt lies that cannot be entered. The parish belongs to the Hallein deanery and, with Annaberg and Rußbach am Paß Gschütt, forms a parish association.

The late Gothic high altar was carved by Andreas Lackner in 1518 with painter Ulrich Bocksberger. Three bishop figures from it, now in Vienna's Belvedere, are among the finest early 16th-century Salzburg carvings, with gilded robes and portrait-like faces pointing toward the Renaissance.
