Evangelische Kirche Schladming

Schladming-Rohrmoos-Pichl, Styria

The Evangelical Church Schladming is an Evangelical-Lutheran church building in Schladming in Styria. It belongs to the Evangelical Parish A.B. Schladming in the Superintendency of Styria of the Evangelical Church A. B. in Austria. It is noteworthy that the construction of the tower began in 1852. From 1859 to 1862, a nave with historicist forms was built according to the plans of the architect Karl Ganzenberg, following the example of the evangelical church in Wels. There are four panels as remnants of a Protestant winged altar from around 1570. The narrow panels show Saints Peter and Paul. The wider panels show the Crucifixion and the Brazen Serpent. The backs of the panels bear grotesque paintings and scrollwork ornament and inscriptions. With 1000 seats, the Schladming church is the largest evangelical church in Styria.
