Pankratiuskirche

The Pankratiuskirche is currently owned by the widow of Dr. Josef Sorgo and is used as a storage shed for a commercial building. June 7, 1286: The Archbishop of Salzburg, Rudolf von Hohenegg, grants the people of Gmünd an indulgence letter, according to which all those "who have brought lime, stone, and sand for the rebuilding of the chapel in Gmündt, in addition to true confession and repentance of their sins, will be granted a 40-day indulgence." This refers to the construction of the Pankratiuskirche. In 1452, it is rebuilt. In 1676, the church has three altars. The main altar is dedicated to St. Pancras and the right altar to St. Catherine. The left altar is not consecrated. In 1452, the church receives a tower. In 1792, it burns down. The burnt site is sold for 120 Gulden to the imperial and royal postmaster and "wine innkeeper" Michael Platzer. The church ruin becomes a stable and post coach shed. Efforts are underway by the Protestant church and the municipality to restore this gem to its original function.
