Pfarrkirche Güttenbach - Slawische Kirche

In 1763, the inhabitants of Güttenbach built a chapel in honor of St. Patrick. In 1837 and 1838, it was enlarged by the addition of a nave and a tower. Even before World War I, the church had become too small to accommodate the churchgoers. However, any further construction activity was paralyzed for a long time by the war. It was not until 1928 that the decision was made to build a new large church in Güttenbach. The current church is dedicated to St. Joseph. It was built in 1929 and 1930 by Prof. Karl Holey. It is a tall, single-nave building with a round tower, ornamented on the upper floor, and a conical roof. On the south side there are two round turrets. A wide open staircase leads to the south portal. The vault is a barrel vault with a raised mirror. The interior furnishings date from the time of construction. On the high altar we find St. Joseph and Stations of the Cross in colored majolica, the tabernacle is made of brass.
