Parish Church Rohrbach

Parish Church Rohrbach, Baroque church building in Rohrbach-Berg, Austria.

The Parish Church Rohrbach is a Baroque church built by Carlo Antonio Carlone between 1697 and 1700, standing slightly elevated northeast of the town square. Its 75-metre tower dominates the town; the interior has a four-bay barrel vault without stucco on the ceiling, rich stucco on the chancel arch and presbytery, and a high altar with Antonio Bellucci's painting of the Assumption.

A parish of Rohrbach is first documented on 30 June 1303, when it belonged to the Diocese of Passau; in 1319 the Passau cathedral chapter transferred it to Stift Schlägl. A wooden church was destroyed by the Hussites in 1427, and a late-Gothic church followed in 1450 under pastor Wolfgang Perger, who obtained an indulgence for its supporters in 1446. After falling stones injured two people in 1686, the old building and its chapels were demolished and replaced by the present Baroque church, built by Carlo Antonio Carlone between 1697 and 1700 under pastor Wilhelm Kammerruck and Abbot Michael Felder of Schlägl.

The church is dedicated to the Apostle James the Elder and stands on the Oberes Mühlviertel section of the Jakobsweg, the pilgrimage route from Český Krumlov via Stift Schlägl to Passau. The parish was first documented on 30 June 1303 and was transferred by the Passau cathedral chapter to Stift Schlägl in 1319. The high altar painting of the Assumption came from Stift Spital am Pyhrn.

Access is typically available during times of religious services, as the building remains an active place of worship for the community. Visitors should be prepared with appropriate clothing and behavior for a sacred space.

The barrel-vaulted nave ceiling has no stucco at all; a ceiling fresco may have been planned, as in the Maria Trost church. The 75-metre tower, built in 1450 as a defensive structure, still dominates the town skyline.
