Franziskanerkirche, Franciscan church and monastery at Rathausplatz, St. Pölten, Austria
The church features a Baroque main facade with Ionic pilasters, segmental arched portal, and three statue niches displaying figures of Elijah and Teresa of Avila.
Built between 1757 and 1768 with contributions from Baroque architect Matthias Munggenast, the church served as a Carmelite monastery until its transfer to Franciscans in 1785.
The church houses valuable religious artworks, including an 18th-century Madonna statue known as Görzer Muttergottes, which was transferred here in 1918.
Located at Rathausplatz 12 in St. Pölten, the church functions as both a parish church dedicated to the Holy Trinity and a monastery for Franciscan monks.
The pulpit, designed around 1770, features a sound cover adorned with the Eye of God symbol, while the current organ was installed within the original housing in 2011.
