St. Mauritius

St. Mauritius is a Catholic church in Hausach featuring a three-nave basilica layout with a transept and front tower. The building is constructed from red sandstone and displays neo-Gothic architectural style.

Construction started in 1892 after years of disputes over costs with House Fürstenberg, under architect Max Meckel's direction. The building received its first dedication in 1894, followed by a second dedication in 1896 by a bishop.

The church is named after Saint Maurice, a martyr venerated in Catholic tradition. It remains a gathering place where the local community celebrates religious holidays and observes religious life together.

The church sits in the city center at Klosterstrasse 21 and is open during daytime hours for visitors. You can explore the interior to view the architecture and design of the space.

The neo-Gothic facade stands out for its striking red stone and detailed stonework that was typical of architecture from that era. This craftsmanship makes the building a notable example of late 19th-century church construction in the region.
