St. Sixtus Church on the Gallner
Highlight • Religious Site
There are a few legends about the lonely church on the first of the three peaks of the 709 m high Gallnerberg.
The home curator Walter Meinhard reports that the church patron, as a shepherd boy, is said to have struck a sign into a rock with a hammer after he was searched for when he was elected pope.
The Gallnerkirche is mentioned in a Roman document as early as 1490, when it was given an indulgence by four Italian bishops. Since the house of God was already standing then and the news of its existence had reached Rome, the time of construction must have been much further back.
After secularization
1803: The church was auctioned off to the conceller's son Andreas Ettl.
1809: He sold it to Peter Stegbauer, who moved it into an apartment.
1846: On April 17th, the Gallner builder Lorenz Lehner acquires the house with stable from his subsequent residents.
1852: The church is restored.
The existing church on the Gallner is a small, late Gothic complex from the end of the 15th century with changes in the Baroque period and the 19th century. It has a flat ceiling and the windows in the chancel have pointed arches, while the other windows have round arches. The neo-Gothic high altar dates from 1853. In the middle shrine there is an old wooden figure showing Saint Sixtus.
Event highlight: the traditional Gallnerbergfest
Every year on Whit Monday, the traditional Gallnerbergfest takes place at the Gallnerkirchlein.
