Pfarrkirche hl. Nikolaus, Wilfersdorf, Gothic parish church in Wilfersdorf, Austria.
The parish church of Saint Nicholas is a house of worship in Wilfersdorf that combines Gothic features from the 15th century with Baroque modifications from the 18th century. The building shows a characteristic blend of these two architectural styles in its structure and interior.
A fire severely damaged the structure in 1590, after which Anna Maria von Liechtenstein oversaw its reconstruction in 1591. This rebuilding made it a significant sanctuary for both the family and the local community.
The church served as the burial place for the Liechtenstein princely family and holds the remains of several family members including Wolfgang II and Gundaker. It represented both a spiritual center for the local community and a symbol of the family's deep ties to the town.
The church is located at Marktplatz 1b and can be easily reached from the town center. Visitors should check ahead about opening times, as access and service hours may vary seasonally or for special occasions.
The church enjoyed the patronage of the Princes of Liechtenstein for more than two centuries until 1978, when this connection finally ended. This extended relationship with the princely family left a lasting mark on how the building was maintained and understood locally.
