Buchbergkirche, Bischofshofen, Romanesque church on Buchberg hill in Bischofshofen, Austria.

The church features a single-nave rectangular layout with a Gothic choir, buttresses, and two distinct portals on its western and southern sides.

Initially constructed around 1200 on the site of an 11th-century castle, the church received its first written documentation in 1370.

The interior displays a flat coffered ceiling from 1641, carved balustrades, and an altar from 1645 showing the patron saints Primus and Felician.

Visitors can access the church through arrangements with the Bischofshofen parish office, which manages viewing appointments and tours.

Two historic bronze bells remain in the tower: the Maria-Magdalena bell from 1509 weighing 700 kg and the Sebastian bell from 1675 weighing 65 kg.
