Protestant church in Gosau, Gothic Revival church in Gosau, Austria

The Protestant church in Gosau is a neo-Gothic building erected from 1864 to 1869 to replace a 1784 prayer house. Its tower stands in the southern choir corner and carries a pointed spire. The architect was Hermann Wehrenfennig, who also designed the Protestant churches in Gmunden and Vöcklabruck. All stone came from Gosau quarries, and the marble for the altar steps and font came from the Dachstein area.

The 1784 Tolerance prayer house had no tower, bells or sacred decoration under the era's building rules. From 1864 it was dismantled, its stones reused for the new Evangelical elementary school, and the present church, designed by Hermann Wehrenfennig, was consecrated in September 1869.

The carved Trinity altar shows the vine and branches motif with figures of Peter and Paul; all the woodcarving was done by Gosau's Oberlehrer Hager, a teacher at the woodworking school in Hallstatt, except the altar crucifix by Erler. The 1902 organ comes from the Steinmayer organ-building firm, and the church has three bells.

The church stands in the Gosau valley, in the district of Gmunden in Upper Austria. The nearest railway station is Steeg-Gosau, on the Salzkammergut line. The church is a listed building; visitors should check opening times locally before planning a visit.

The building uses stones quarried from Gosau and marble from the Dachstein region, materials that connect the structure to its surrounding landscape. This choice of local stone and marble grounds the church in the geology of the area.
