Pfarrkirche Untersiebenbrunn, Catholic parish church in Untersiebenbrunn, Austria
The Pfarrkirche Untersiebenbrunn is a church building situated on elevated terrain in the northern part of the village, with a three-story western tower featuring decorative bell windows in its facade. The structure's distinctive architecture makes it a visible landmark within the settlement.
The original building was a medieval fortified church that was demolished in 1709 and reconstructed in 1710 according to plans by architect Johann Koch. This rebuilding established the structure's current form.
The high altar from 1748 displays an altarpiece depicting Saint Vitus, flanked by statues of Saints Florian and Hippolytus. These sacred figures remain central to the interior's visual identity.
The church maintains regular services as an active parish within the Gänserndorf deanery of the Archdiocese of Vienna. Visitors can attend services during scheduled times.
Excavations in the 1980s uncovered the foundations of the Romanesque nave beneath the current structure, revealing layers of the original medieval building. This discovery provided evidence of the earlier church that once stood on the site.
