St. Fronleichnam Church

The church stands as a white plastered structure with a side nave, campanile, and parish house, featuring a minimalist design approach throughout its construction.

Rudolf Schwarz completed the construction of St. Fronleichnam Church in 1930, marking an early implementation of modernist principles in religious architecture.

The interior design reflects the theological perspectives of the Liturgical Movement, with intentionally sparse decorations to encourage congregation participation in services.

The church maintains regular parish activities and features two altars, with the newer lower altar adding flexibility to religious ceremonies.

The building incorporates blue stone flooring to represent earthly existence and whitewashed walls to symbolize heavenly order, creating a deliberate spatial narrative.
