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

Two Churches in Bad Goisern


In earlier times, St. Agatha's had aspirations  to become an independent place. So it is not surprising that there is a second Catholic church in Bad Goisern. A special feature is the sandstone altar which is quite unique.

Pilgirm Path 

A visit to the church in St. Agatha can be ideally combined with a short pilgrim path along small chapels starting from Bad Goisern. This pilgrimage path starts at the chapel of Stieger carpentry and continues through Stambach and ends at the church of St. Agatha.

The historical facts about the church in St. Agatha:

  • This historic picturesque church dates back to 1400.
