Maria Magdalena am Lurnfeld
Facts and practical information
The Filial Church of St. Magdalena am Lurnfeld in the parish of Lurnfeld stands east of Möllbrücke in the open field. It belongs to the parish of Möllbrücke. The church found its first documentary mention in 1473. In 1629 it is mentioned as profaned, in 1677 again as consecrated.
The church is a small Romanesque long building, which was modified in the Baroque period. Opus spicatum has been preserved in the masonry. The nave, supported by double-stepped buttresses, closes with a semicircular apse. A sacristy is attached to the south side. In the wooden porch there are two capstones of the enclosing wall of a Roman burial ground with relief remains. The low tent roof is crowned by a ridge turret. The nave and the chancel are flat-roofed and connected by a round-arched triumphal arch. The church furnishings consist of an altar and pulpit from the beginning of the 18th century and a console figure of St. John Nepomuk.
The church fell victim to church robbery twice: in 1954, late Gothic carved figures of St. Florian and St. George and a statue of St. John Nepomuk were stolen, and in 1965, a Madonna of the Rosary was stolen.
