Pfarrkirche Mariae Himmelfahrt Bad Hofgastein
Pfarrkirche Mariae Himmelfahrt Bad Hofgastein, Gothic parish church in Bad Hofgastein, Austria.
Description
Pfarrkirche Mariae Himmelfahrt is a three-nave Gothic structure with smooth round columns dividing the interior space. The vaulting above the central aisle features both star-ribbed and net vault patterns that draw the eye upward.
History
The church was first recorded in 1023 under Archbishop Hartwig and has since shaped the town of Bad Hofgastein. Fires destroyed much of it over the centuries, leading to a major reconstruction from 1498 to 1507 that gave it its current form.

The church is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, a theme reflected in its altar artwork and interior decoration. The artistic choices throughout the space show how this religious focus shaped the spiritual life of the local community.
Practical
The building welcomes visitors on weekdays and Sundays, allowing you to explore the interior at a relaxed pace. Access is straightforward, and its location in the town center makes it easy to find.
Did you know?
The church holds frescoes created by Fritz Dürnberger in 1925 as a World War I memorial. These modern artworks show how contemporary artists breathed new life into the medieval building.
