Pfarrkirche hl. Georg, Bergheim

Pfarrkirche hl. Georg, Bergheim, Parish church in Bergheim, Austria.

Pfarrkirche hl. Georg is a single-nave Baroque church built from 1695 by Matthias Köllensperger, probably to plans by Giovanni Gaspare Zuccalli. Its four-bay nave has wall pilasters and a barrel vault, ending in a round apse; a double gallery with the organ stands at the west end. The high altar by Lorenz Windpichler (1705/06) shows Saint George fighting the dragon, painted by Johann Friedrich Pereth in 1704.

A church at Bergheim is named in the Notitia Arnonis of the 8th century and documented in 927. The Gothic building was re-consecrated in 1520 by Chiemsee bishop Berthold Pürstinger. Because it had become dilapidated, it was demolished in 1695 and rebuilt in early Baroque style by master builder Matthias Köllensperger, probably to plans by Giovanni Gaspare Zuccalli.

The church is dedicated to Saint George, whose feast day on 23 April determines the building's orientation: the choir faces northeast toward the sunrise of that date. The high altar, made by Salzburg carpenter Lorenz Windpichler in 1705/1706, shows George fighting the dragon, painted by Johann Friedrich Pereth in 1704.

The church sits centrally in Bergheim and is easily reached on foot. As an active parish, regular services take place, so visiting outside service times allows for a quieter look inside.

The church's axis follows the sunrise on Saint George's Day, 23 April, because the choir is oriented toward the northeast according to the patron's feast. A gravestone of the priest Wolfgang Hofer, who died in 1565, is set at the south entrance, and the round north window is a Holy Spirit window made by Markus Ertl.
