Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt

Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt, Parish church in Thaur, Austria.

The Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt is a Gothic church featuring four bays, a transept, and a recessed choir covered by a barrel vault with lunettes. The interior displays a thoughtful spatial composition with artistic decoration and clear structural articulation.

Archaeological discoveries during 1986 restoration work revealed that an early Christian shrine stood at this location in the 5th century. The present structure evolved from this long tradition of the place as a site of worship.

The ceiling paintings show Saint Romedius interceding for the village, reflecting local devotion to this figure. This representation shaped the religious life of the place since its creation in the late 19th century.

The church functions as an active parish church with regular services and ceremonies for the community. Visitors should respect the operating hours and be considerate of worshippers during religious events.

The ceiling paintings by artist Franz Xaver Pernlochner II from 1878-1880 contain hidden self-portraits depicting the artist and people of his time. The portrait of Parish Priest Alois Gräber offers a fascinating window into the personalities and relationships of the late 19th century in this place.
