Pfarrkirche Herz-Jesu, Protected parish church in Stans, Austria

Pfarrkirche Herz-Jesu in Stans is a neo-Gothic church built in 1884–1885 by master builder Peter Huter, surrounded by a cemetery. Its exterior has buttresses and a north tower topped with a pointed spire. Inside, a five-bay nave and a narrower two-bay choir both carry cross-ribbed vaults; frescoes were painted by Heinrich Kluibenschädl in 1896 and August Wagner in 1904.

The neo-Gothic church was built in 1884–1885 by master builder Peter Huter. It belongs to the Schwaz deanery in the Diocese of Innsbruck and, together with its surrounding cemetery, is a listed monument.

The church serves the residents of Stans as a place for worship and community meetings throughout the year. Visitors can observe how religious life remains woven into the daily rhythms of the village.

The church is centrally located in the village and easy to reach on foot, with the cemetery immediately adjacent for exploration. Visitors can take time to look at the architecture without hurrying.

The high altar, made in 1896, is a copy of the altar in the Minorite Church in Brussels. Its side figures of Saints Lawrence and Ulrich date from around 1515, older than the church itself, and the reliefs show the Washing of the Feet and the Last Supper.
