Antoniuskirche, Catholic pilgrimage church in Rietz, Austria
The sacred building stands on a hill with a slender tower integrated into the northern facade, featuring twin round-arched windows and an onion dome with a lantern.
The original chapel was constructed in 1666 by Peter Grasmayr, while the current baroque structure was completed in 1757 according to Johann Michael Umhauser's designs.
The ceiling paintings from 1757 by Johann Michael Strickner depict various scenes from Saint Anthony's legend, complemented by Rococo stucco decorations throughout the interior.
The church connects to a network of hiking trails, including the Antonius Steig path, which takes approximately 45 minutes to walk from the parish church of Rietz.
The organ combines elements from different construction phases, including parts from an original 1739 Andreas Jäger instrument, later reassembled by Franz Weber in 1871.
