Schönwies parish church (consecrated to Archangel Michael)

history

Today's church was built between 1681 and 1686 and consecrated in 1688. In the fourth quarter of the 18th century the church was renovated. From 1930 to 1932, the church was extended by two window axes to the west according to plans by the architect Karl Paulmichl. 1974/1975 was a restoration.

From 1689 curate church, the church was raised to a parish church in 1891.

architecture

The several times changed early baroque hall church with a neo-romanesque tower is surrounded by a cemetery.

The nave and choir of the same width and the extension by Paulmichl in 1932 stand under a common gabled roof, and there is a two-storey sacristy extension on the east side. The facades have corner squares in the plaster, and the windows (in the chancel pointed arches) also have a plaster ashlar frame. The tower on the north side of the choir has two round-arched sound openings in the bell storey and triple windows above them, the gables show blind arcades and a stepped frieze. The pointed arched western portal is probably from the 17th century.

The interior of the church appears as a four-bay nave with a two-bay chancel with a three-eighths closure over lunette barrels on layered pilasters. The retracted triumphal arch with stucco bands on the side is dated 1686. The choir walls have twisted brick columns with vine tendrils.

The ceiling paintings from around 1790 with Archangel Michael and the depiction of a local legend, the Annunciation, the guardian angel Raphael with Tobias, the four evangelists, Peter and Paul, church fathers on the sides were attributed to the painter Johann Georg Witwer.

interior description

The high altar from around 1790 shows the altarpiece of Archangels Gabriel, Michael and Raphael from the 17th century and carries the statues of Archangels Gabriel and Raphael on the sides above the sacrificial portals and, in the excerpt, the carved group of the Holy Trinity from around 1790. The tabernacle was created around 1790.

The crucifixion group with Mary and John was created in the second half of the 17th century. A clothed bust of the Madonna in a baroque showcase with carved decoration and putti was created in the third quarter of the 18th century. The station pictures are from the end of the 18th century. The pulpit from the late 19th century is richly carved.
