Pfarrkirche Brunn am Gebirge, St. Kunigunde

Church

Description

The Brunner parish church, a unique building made of sand-lime brick from the Vienna Woods, with Gothic buttresses, windows and portals, presents itself today as it was completed in 1522. The baroque interior was donated by Count Juan Hyacintho Vasquez and his relatives at the beginning of the 18th century. The "Brunner Singertor", which resembles the Singertor of St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the relief of the Mount of Olives on the southern exterior of the church are noteworthy.

The Roman Catholic parish church of Brunn am Gebirge is located in the municipality of Brunn am Gebirge in the district of Mödling in Lower Austria. It is dedicated to St. Kunigunde and belongs to the deanery of Mödling in the vicariate of Unter dem Wienerwald in the Archdiocese of Vienna. The church is a listed building and its patron saints are the Holy Emperor and Empress Cunegonde and Henry (feast day on 12 July). The church's special features include the Singertor, a work by the St. Stephen's cathedral construction company, and a copy of the Spanish pilgrimage image of the Madonna of Grenada.
