Parish church in Klein-Engersdorf, Parish church in Klein-Engersdorf, Austria

The Parish church in Klein-Engersdorf is a house of worship with architectural elements from different periods that combine Gothic and late Baroque styles. The building features a Gothic choir with pointed arch windows and a late Baroque nave topped with a facade tower built during the 1770s reconstruction.

This house of worship was founded in the 11th century and received its Gothic choir in the mid-14th century. These two building phases established the structure that visitors see today.

The parish belonged to Formbach Abbey around 1100 and was incorporated into the Schottenstift in 1540. The high altar from the third quarter of the 18th century holds a crucifixion painting from the early 19th century; the former altarpiece of St. Vitus, painted by Martin Johann Schmidt in 1775, is kept in storage.

The church exterior is easy to explore and offers visitors a clear view of the different architectural styles from the outside. Those interested in seeing the interior should plan their visit around public worship services, which provide the best opportunity to view the church.

The high altar's former painting of St. Vitus, painted by Martin Johann Schmidt in 1775, is no longer on display but kept in storage. The bell in the tower was cast by Joachim Gross in 1678, and the current organ was built by Ferdinand Salomon in 1989.
