Watschiger Toleranzbethaus, Protestant church in Hermagor-Pressegger See, Austria

The Watschiger Toleranzbethaus follows an L-shaped design with two equally proportioned wings, featuring a four-axis hall structure with windows across two floors.

Built in 1782, this Protestant church stands as the second stone-built tolerance house in Carinthia and remains the oldest preserved example in the region.

The interior displays late Baroque and Rococo elements, with the high altar presenting Moses holding the tablets of law above the crucifix.

The church maintains regular services under the care of the Hermagor parish, with entrances located on both the western main facade and northern side.

The flat ceiling above the altar features a painted representation of the Last Supper, while the church received its Alois Hörbiger organ in 1836.
