Saint Gall Church, Protected parish church in Weer, Austria

Saint Gall Church is a protected parish building in Weer featuring white walls and a distinctive tower set against Tyrolean mountain scenery. The structure displays typical mountain-region architecture and continues to serve as the community's place of worship.

A church in Weer is first documented in 1265, when it was incorporated into the Fiecht Monastery as a branch of the Kolsass mother parish. Excavations by Wilhelm Sydow in 1991 uncovered foundations of an 8th-century hall church, followed by an early Romanesque west wall, a 12th-century Romanesque rebuild and a Gothic replacement in the late 15th century. After a fire in 1553, Abbot Pirmin Seidl of Fiecht laid the foundation stone for the Baroque new building on 16 July 1777; Prince-Bishop Joseph von Spaur of Brixen consecrated it and its three altars on 5 July 1781. Weer became an independent parish in 1956.

The church is dedicated to Saint Gallus, an Irish monk; the high altar shows him kneeling before the Madonna, painted by Franz Anton Zeiller in 1779. Zeiller also painted the ceiling frescoes of 1779, including the building of the monastery of St. Gallen and the saint healing a possessed man. A chaplaincy foundation existed in Weer from 1491, but a resident priest only settled in the village from 1946.

The church stands at the eastern edge of Weer, surrounded by a cemetery, with two red-marble round-arched portals dated 1778. The Gothic tower portal keeps an iron door from around 1500, and a life-size marble crucifix by Josef Miller stands on the tower's west wall. The interior was renovated in 1991.

The marble crucifix on the tower's west wall was carved by Josef Miller in the third quarter of the 19th century. The church also keeps a Gothic iron door from around 1500 in the tower portal, and the high altar's tabernacle is Rococo work.
