Evangelical Church

The Protestant church Fischertratten in the municipality of Malta was built in 1787 with the help of Count Hieronymus Maria Lodron, Catholic and landlord of Gmünd, as a tolerance prayer house. It was not until three years later that the Protestant parish of Dornbach-Fischertratten was founded. Lodron's endowment was sufficient, apart from the building, to pay the regular wages of the parish priest and school teacher. The parish and school house built next to the church was demolished in 1978.

The church is a small baroque-classicist building from 1787. A semicircular apse adjoins the unarticulated nave. The west facade has a portal aedicule and a curved pediment. The campanile next to the church was built in 1985. The Lodron's lion crowning the tower and one bell come from the old rectory, the second bell was newly acquired. The music gallery, which stands on columns, has a convex organ bay in the middle section. The rococo-classicist pulpit altar, painted in white and gold, with delicate column architecture and two lateral arched passages, dates from the time the church was built, as does the baptismal font.

Since the parish of the Protestant parish A. B. Dornbach includes the parish of Gmünd as well as the Maltatal, services have also been held in Gmünd since 1922. Around 1990, attempts were made to use the former town parish church, which had been used as a storehouse since a fire in the 18th century, for this purpose. In the end, however, it was decided to build a new church, the Dreieinigkeitskirche, which was inaugurated in 2001.
