Pfarrkirche Pyhra, Gothic parish church in Pyhra, Austria.

The Pfarrkirche Pyhra features a substantial eastern tower, a four-bay nave with buttresses, and simple tracery windows reflecting early Gothic architecture.

In 1463, residents sought protection within the church walls from raiding soldiers, demonstrating its function as both a religious and defensive structure.

The church contains Renaissance-era tombs of the Greiß noble family, who governed from the neighboring Wald Castle during their period of influence.

The parish office operates at Hauptstrasse 17 in Pyhra, with Monsignor Markus Heinz serving as the current parish priest.

The church displays an exceptionally large memorial tablet from 1572, depicting Christoph von Greiß alongside his wife and three brothers.
