Pfarrkirche St. Anna am Lavantegg, Parish church in Sankt Anna am Lavantegg, Austria
Pfarrkirche St. Anna am Lavantegg is a baroque parish church situated at about 1289 meters elevation with a western bell tower and pointed roof. The building features a main nave divided into two bays with characteristics typical of mountain churches in this alpine region.
A small chapel was founded in 1689 by Pater Modest Prevenhuber and later expanded into a complete church finished in 1737. This transformation reflects the growing importance of the settlement in this mountain region during the 18th century.
The interior features baroque artworks including altar statues created by a local sculptor and side altars with religious imagery. The decoration reflects the religious devotion that has shaped this mountain community for centuries.
The church is located in a mountain area and is generally accessible during daylight hours, though times may vary seasonally. For specific visiting information or guided tours, it is best to contact the local parish community in advance.
The church houses a restored baroque altarpiece from the 17th century depicting twelve scenes of Christ's Passion in remarkable artistic detail. This artwork represents a rare example of religious painting from that period in the Alps.
