Hospital church St. Sigismund

Oberwölz-Lachtal

The St. Sigismund Hospital Church, actually Filialkirche hl. Sigismund bei Spital is a Gothic church building in Oberwölz in the Murau district in Styria. The hospital chapel next to Hinteregger Tor in Oberwölz was first appointed in 1360, and the foundation was confirmed in 1364 by the Freising Bishop Paul von Jägerndorf and von Harrach.

The current building was designed by Hanns Jersleben (1430), who created a “construction gap” between the previously existing hospital chapel and the city wall. Particularly worth seeing: Miraculous cross on the high altar, three-part fresco on the north wall with a Maria Lactans, master builder portrait and original building inscription, tracery with portrait heads and grimaces on the organ gallery.
