Flirsch Parish Church (consecrated Apostle Bartholomew)
Story
The church was mentioned in a document in 1385. The side altars were consecrated in 1482. In 1751 the church was re-consecrated after renovations. In 1811 the church was renovated and expanded to the west. The church was a branch of the parish church of St. Jakob am Arlberg and was elevated to a parish church in 1891. An interior renovation took place from 1973 to 1974.

architecture
The baroque church building with a simple nave under a gable roof has a retracted polygonal choir. The tower on the north side of the choir has round-arched sound windows with an eastern balcony with a bulging iron grille and, at the end, a blown gable with an onion helmet and lantern from 1821. The west facade with a composite gable has the figure of the Good Shepherd from the 19th century in a niche . The sacristy was added to the south.
The interior of the church shows a four-bay nave with arched windows under a vaulted barrel with stitch caps on pilasters and flat belts. The two-story gallery on iron stands is from the 19th century. Behind the round-arched triumphal arch is the choir with a square groin-vaulted choir yoke and a 3/8 end. The ceiling paintings by the painter Josef Leopold Strickner from 1812 show St. Bartholomew before Christ and in the nave the torture, the sermon and the miraculous healing of St. Bartholomew.

Furnishing
The three altars were created in 1851. The high altar has the central figure of a late Gothic Madonna around 1520 and the figures of Saints Bartholomew and Barbara by Josef Georg Witzer from the middle of the 18th century. The excerpt shows the image of the Trinity. The left side altar shows the baroque altarpiece of the Rapture of Mary Magdalene around 1770 and the Heart of Jesus in the upper image. The right side altar shows the altarpiece Madonna and Jesus and Poor Souls from the 19th century and the Heart of Mary in the upper image. An altarpiece allegory Redemption of Poor Souls by Franz Firler from 1757 is in safekeeping.
The pulpit is from the second half of the 19th century. The ambo consists of parts from around 1800. Josef Georg Witzer created two male figures of saints. The crucifix is from the beginning of the 18th century. The two canvas pictures Anna herself and Josef with child are from the end of the 18th century. The Mariahilf picture in a carved frame was created around 1800. The station pictures are from the first quarter of the 19th century.
Anton Behmann built the organ in 1906.
