Pfarrkirche Stuhlfelden, Catholic parish church in Stuhlfelden, Salzburg, Austria

Pfarrkirche Stuhlfelden is a single-nave Romanesque church with a Gothic choir and a Gothic west tower, surrounded by a cemetery. The nave dates from the mid-13th century, with a Romanesque portal on its south side. The tower has a pointed gable spire from 1973, and the tracery of the pointed-arch windows was made in 1898.

A church was mentioned in a document in 963, and the parish has served the Oberpinzgau since 1140. A reconsecration took place in 1511. After a Baroque remodelling, the church was regothicised in 1898; the exterior and the Anthony and Michael chapels were restored in 1979/1980.

The parish is documented as early as 963, and since 1140 it has served the Oberpinzgau. The high altar, designed by Wolfgang Hagenauer and carved by stonemason Johann Högler, frames a Madonna and Child from around 1470/1480, flanked by figures by Petrus Schmid from around 1783.

The church stands in the village centre of Stuhlfelden, surrounded by its cemetery; the Romanesque south portal and the Gothic west tower face the graveyard. The interior is open to visitors outside service times, and the graves from the 16th to 18th centuries are worth a look.

The churchyard holds gravestones from the 16th to the 18th century, several of them carved with names and dates that predate the present furnishings. Look for them along the walls before entering the church.
