Gottesdienste - Katholische Kirche

Rust, Burgenland

The church was built by Protestant citizens between 1649 and 1651. In 1674, during the Counter-Reformation, the Protestants had to cede the church to the Catholics. It is an early Baroque building, to which a schoolhouse was added on the north side. At the level of the facade gable, there is a walkway with a stone balustrade on consoles, and a second one at the foot of the stone pyramid helmet. Inside, a freestanding high altar, the Rococo tabernacle, two side altars, a wooden pulpit, a baptismal font, and an organ are worth seeing. Address: Kirchengasse, A-7071 Rust
