St. Agatha's Catholic Church

The church in St. Agatha is an integral part of the Catholic parish in Bad Goisern.

Two Catholic churches 

In earlier times, St. Agatha had aspirations to become an independent town. It is therefore not surprising that there are two Catholic churches in Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee there is a second Catholic church.
The little church was built under priest Coloan Mühlwanger and first mentioned in a document in 1395. The high altar is made of grotto and sandstone. Behind it you can see a secco painting (this technique involves painting on dry plaster) The two side altars date from 1674 and 1685. On the way from Bad Goisern to St. Agahta are the four so-called Stambach chapels with sculptural depictions of the rosary. The crucifixion group by the Mondese master Meinrad Guggenbichler
