Pfarrkirche Maria im Dorn, Parish church in Feldkirchen in Kärnten, Austria.

Pfarrkirche Maria im Dorn is a three-aisled Romanesque pillar basilica with a five-storey choir tower, set slightly above the Tiebel river at the end of Kirchgasse. The Gothic main choir was added in the 14th century, and the aisles were then united under a common saddle roof. A hall-shaped west extension by Gernot Kulterer, added in 1986, now forms the entrance; its slit windows were designed by Giselbert Hoke in 2009.

A predecessor church was recorded in 1065/66 as a private church of the Eppenstein family; construction of the present building began after 1166, and Feldkirchen appears as a parish in 1258. After the Turkish incursion of 1476 the church was fortified, yet Hungarian forces took it in 1480. In the 14th century a Gothic long choir was added and the aisles were merged under one saddle roof.

The name Maria im Dorn comes from the legend of a shepherd who found a Marian image in a thorn bush; it was carried to St. Michael but returned to the bush overnight, prompting the church's construction on that spot. The church is also called Maria im Dorn in local usage, and the 19th-century fresco in the south porch depicts this scene.

The church stands at the end of Kirchgasse, slightly elevated above the Tiebel River, a short walk uphill from Feldkirchen's centre. The west hall extension of 1986 is entered from the west side, while the baroque porch with its pointed-arch portal opens on the south wall of the nave. Visitors should note that the interior levels differ between the Romanesque nave and the raised Gothic main choir.

The legend tells that the Marian image found in the thorn bush was carried to St. Michael, but the next morning it was back in the bush, which was read as a sign to build the church on that spot. The church is still called Maria im Dorn, Mary in the Thorn.
