St. Leonhard Parish Church
Church
Description
Church worth seeing in Marchfeld: The historic Eckartsau parish church is dedicated to St. Leonhard of Limoges. The medieval core of the Roman Catholic church dates back to the 14th century. The church was baroqueized in 1703, but the original floor plan was preserved. Today it is a listed building. The baroque high altar from the 18th century with a painting by Vitus Hrdlicka from 1762 is particularly worth seeing, while the late Gothic figure of St. Leonhard dates back to around 1500. The organ dates back to 1737 and a bell to 1679.
The parish of Eckartsau is located in the vicariate of Unter dem Manhartsberg. Over 650 believers live in the parish. Services in the parish church of St. Leonhard - which is always open from Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 6 pm - take place on Wednesdays and Sundays.
