Pfarrkirche Echsenbach, Parish church in Echsenbach, Austria.

Pfarrkirche Echsenbach is a Romanesque core church on a hill north of the village, surrounded by a cemetery. Its 13th-century east tower has blocked tracery windows and a spire added around 1780, while a southern chapel annex from the late 13th century shows early Gothic tracery. A 1957 extension by architect Hans Petermair stands north of the choir.

Echsenbach church appears in records in 1250 as a branch of Altpölla, became a parish in 1296, and was reunited with Altpölla around 1630 before regaining parish status in 1728. The Romanesque choir-tower church of the 13th century was rebuilt around 1427, and in 1957 architect Hans Petermair added a northern extension.

The church is dedicated to Saint James the Elder, and its parish status changed repeatedly: founded in 1296, merged with Altpölla around 1630, and independent again since 1728. Inside, a late Gothic sacrament niche with keel arches and side pinnacles survives in the choir, closed by a wrought-iron grille from the second half of the 15th century.

The church stands on a hill north of the village, ringed by the cemetery, and is reached on foot from Echsenbach. The nave and choir connect through wide concrete arches, and the 1957 north annex opens broadly onto the choir, so the interior is easy to walk through. The south chapel and sacristy corner sit close to the main entrance.

The organ was built by the Rieger brothers in 1894 and rebuilt by Josef Panhuber in 1950. In the choir hangs a late-Gothic sacrament niche with a wrought-iron grille from the second half of the 15th century. The church's roof truss is dated 1427.
