Very worth seeing

No deer, but fallow deer from the Wiesmayerhof - but worth seeing anyway (:

The history of the Church of St. Andrew in Hennersdorf is very interesting. The church was originally built as a Romanesque hall in the 12th century and was a branch of St. Stephen in Vienna. In the 14th century it was elevated to the status of a parish church and received a Gothic east tower. In the 18th century the church was remodeled in Baroque style and oriented to the west, with the Romanesque choir becoming the entrance and a new Baroque choir with sacristies added. The Romanesque south portal with a tympanum relief was walled up in 1758 and only uncovered again in 1941. The church has been restored several times, most recently in 20123. The church also has some wall paintings from the 12th and 13th centuries, as well as a memorial to the fallen of both world wars and the bomb victims of 1944.

The Romanesque church of St. Andrew in Hennersdorf was built around 1150 and is a simple building with a round apse and ridge turret. It is one of the few preserved Romanesque churches in Austria. It is located on a hill above the village and has a secluded forecourt.

May 27, 2023 - The Roman Catholic parish church of Hennersdorf is located to the north of the main square in the municipality of Hennersdorf in the district of Mödling in Lower Austria. The church dedicated to St. Andrew belongs to the Perchtoldsdorf Deanery in the Vicariate Unter den Wienerwald of the Archdiocese of Vienna. The church and the former cemetery are under monument protection. The branch of St. Stephan in Vienna was mentioned in a document in 1270. The church became a parish church in the 14th century until the time of the Reformation. By 1733 the church was again a Catholic parish church. The Romanesque hall from the second quarter of the 12th century has a Gothic east tower. The church was oriented to the west with a baroque choir with a sacristy extension from the mid-18th century. The conversion and extension was documented in 1758 with the architect Johann Georg Kirchhofer. The Romanesque south portal was walled up in 1758 and uncovered in 1941. 1982 was a restoration. The nave is a remarkable Romanesque cuboid building, where the four-axis structure with corner pilaster strips and pilaster strips and semi-columns has been largely preserved. The semi-columns have Attic bases, capitals in relief with cubes or bunches of grapes, and are connected to a cornice in the second third of the height. The belt cornice was designed as a crescent-shaped arched frieze or checkerboard frieze. Eaves stones form the upper corner marking of the building. The Romanesque south portal is a two-stage portal with a quarter-circle bulge without a fighter, console shoulders, tympanum relief cross under palm trees and wavy tendril arch. The arched windows were broken out in 1758. The baroque choir with extensions from 1758 in the same width as the nave has a basket-shaped apse and two symmetrical transept-like sacristy extensions with oratories with segmental arched windows and rectangular windows. The Gothic east tower has a vestibule on the ground floor, which was formerly the Romanesque chancel square and can still be seen in the apse elevation. The baroque east portal is marked 1758 and shows a walled-in Turkish sphere in the gable. The secondarily built four-storey Gothic tower has notched windows and in the bell storey pointed-arched tracery windows from the mid-14th century.

The Hennersdorfer church is said to be one of the oldest in Lower Austria, although the details of its origin are unclear. Architectural details suggest that it was built around the middle of the 12th century, which could also be reconciled with the first documented mention of Hennersdorf in 1114. Due to the high age of the church, three epochs of art history are reflected in it. The nave can be attributed to its basic substance of the Romanesque period, corresponding elements can be found on the outer facade, especially the former portal in the south. In the late 15th century, the Gothic tower – now home to three bells – was added to the east. In 1758 it was finally renovated in a baroque style. The church was extended to the west (a new apse and sacristies on both sides with oratories above), a vault was added instead of the flat ceiling that had probably existed until then, and the old apse in the east was demolished with the associated creation of a new portal. At that time, the church was rotated 180° on the inside, so the altar was moved from east to west. The interior of the church is dominated by rococo, but modern elements - dating from the time of the interior renovation in 2006 - blend in harmoniously.

HENNERSDORFER PARISH CHURCH The Hennersdorf parish church of St. Andrew is one of the oldest churches in Lower Austria. The Hennersdorf parish church reflects three different art-historically interesting epochs (Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque). Despite the lack of documents, the time of construction can be put pretty much exactly around 1150 on the basis of art-historical investigations. The building age of the church (there are no written documents) can be dated fairly accurately due to the Romanesque architectural type. The occurrence of the type of the choir tower church (hall-shaped room, choir square with tower above it), or east tower church, to which the Hennersdorfer church also belongs, can be fixed precisely in time in several places in Lower Austria: From this, a construction time around 1150 can be assumed as fairly certain. The church is said to have been first mentioned in a document in 1270, but a document has not yet been found and therefore this claim cannot be verified. The Hennersdorf church is first mentioned in a document dated October 5, 1306: Albrecht von Pollheim and his wife Adelheid transferred the patronage of the Hoenesdorf church to Master Berthold, land clerk in Austria, and his wife Margareth, among others. This is the oldest written record of church history. Although the church existed from about 1150, there was no parish of its own. An exact date of the priest survey is not known; In any case, Hennersdorf is already noted in the Passau beneficence register in 1429 as a princely feudal parish, so it was first mentioned as a parish on this date. Since the 16th century, Hennersdorf has belonged almost entirely to the Leopoldsdorf rulers. Under Marx Beck, owner of the castle in Leopoldsdorf, the Leopoldsdorf castle chapel was raised to the status of a parish church in 1527; In 1528 the old Hennersdorf parish was merged with the Leopoldsdorf parish, which from 1646 no longer had a pastor. Hennersdorf was subsequently looked after alternately by the parishes of Oberlaa and Vösendorf. In 1529 the Turks invaded; the parsonage was totally destroyed. The church finally became an independent parish again in 1733 under the Leopoldsdorfer Schlossherrin Maria Theresia Rosalia Gräfin von Windischgrätz. From this point in time one can list 15 pastors from Hennersdorf in a complete series up to the present day.

Red and fallow deer have been kept in Austria for centuries to obtain high-quality meat. The large areas of meadow and pasture cultivated by Austrian farmers offer the ideal conditions for farming game.
