Pfarrkirche hl. Maria, Maishofen, Catholic church in Maishofen, Austria

Pfarrkirche hl. Maria in Maishofen is a Roman Catholic parish church in the centre of Maishofen, Salzburg. The 1993 nave by architect Gernot Kulterer has a lens-shaped oval plan and a curved gable roof, while the Gothic stone tower of the 1863 predecessor church remains, topped by a pointed gable helmet. Above the entrance portal is a relief in Untersberg marble by Josef Zenzmaier.

The original church was built in 1863 and served the community until a new construction was decided. The present building was completed in 1993 on the same location, with only the tower of the predecessor church preserved to stand above the new structure.

The parish was founded in 1894, and the church is dedicated to the Feast of the Nativity of Mary. Inside, the 1918/1919 Passion altar by Anton Faistauer hangs halfway up the wall by the tower recess; its closed wings show two women as images of despair and hope. The baroque high altar, made in Munich in 1713, came here in 1863 from the chapel at Schloss Kammer.

The church is centrally located at Anton-Faistauer-Platz in the heart of Maishofen and is easily accessible on foot. The building is open to the public and welcomes visitors to explore its interior spaces and spend quiet moments inside.

The high altar was made in Munich in 1713 and brought here in 1863 from the chapel of Schloss Kammer. Between its columns stands the crowned Mother of God with the Child, piercing a snake with a cross staff; the side statues show Rupert and Virgil of Salzburg.
