Architecture and furnishings of Hall parish church
Here you will find some information about our church
The externally rather unadorned church is crowned by a ridge turret with a baroque dome (shingle roof and tower cross renewed in 2013). Inside, the spaciousness is surprising - a light, four-bay nave and a one-bay choir room with a small chancel at the end. The church vault with stucco divisions dates from the first half of the 18th century and was painted in the original Baroque colours during the last renovations.
The high altar is a baroque, gilded tabernacle structure with angels and reliquaries by Veit Königer (1776), transferred from the Landl parish church in 1908. Above it is a crucifixion group by Josef Stammel (1750). Secco paintings from the 18th century were uncovered on the altar wall in 1984 - supplemented by the coats of arms of the abbots of Admont who served as parish vicars in Hall, with two statues of guardian angels (1707) to the side.
There are numerous Baroque pictures in the church, including the two former side altarpieces and their upper pictures (north wall: St Benedict, above St Florian; south wall: St Dominic, above St John Nepomuk), as well as four pictures of the Latin Doctors of the Church: St Gregory, St Ambrose, St Augustine and St Jerome.
There is also a statue of the Madonna and Child (a copy of a Gothic sculpture) between two adoring angels (19th century) and a statue of the Scourged Saviour on the south wall of the nave (18th century).
The Stations of the Cross on the nave walls by Richard Kühlwein (Regensburg, 1910).
