Stadtpfarrkirche Gleisdorf, parish church in Gleisdorf, Austria

Stadtpfarrkirche Gleisdorf is the parish church of Gleisdorf, dedicated to Saint Lawrence. Its nave has five bays, and the building was extended eastward from 1891 to 1894 to plans by Graz architect Robert Mikovics. A Roman stone from the 2nd century is set into the north side of the facade.

The parish of Gleisdorf was first documented in 1229; the church itself began as a filial church of Sankt Ruprecht an der Raab, completed around 1500. Master builder Michael Arhan enlarged it between 1670 and 1672 and it was consecrated to Saint Lawrence. From 1891 to 1894 Graz architect Robert Mikovics extended it eastward, giving the building its present appearance.

The high altar of 1894 holds a painting of the church's patron, Saint Lawrence; the left side altar carries a 1720 painting of Saint John Nepomuk by Carl Pflänzl, the right one a painting of Saint Francis Xavier. On the main square in front of the church stands a Marian column from 1665 with statues of Saints Sebastian, Rochus, Joseph and John Nepomuk.

The church stands on Gleisdorf's Hauptplatz, with the 1665 Mariensäule column with figures of Saints Sebastian, Rochus, Joseph and John Nepomuk in front of it. The nave has five bays; on the north side of the facade a Roman stone from the 2nd century is set into the wall. Look for the baptismal pool sunk into the floor of the chancel, shaped as a Greek cross.

On the north side of the facade, a Roman stone from the 2nd century is set into the wall, a reused relic of the Roman era in this Styrian town. In front of the church on the Hauptplatz stands a Marian column from 1665 with statues of Saints Sebastian, Rochus, Joseph and John Nepomuk.
