Calls for a new church to be built grew louder and louder. The well-known and probably most important bishop of Linz, Bishop Rudigier, encouraged the establishment of a fund to enlarge the church, and the village judge and local poet Ignaz Donabaur made the first donation in 1858. The church was rebuilt between 1890 and 1895 and the plans for the "Mühlviertel Cathedral" were drawn up by Raimund Jeblinger, then master builder of the cathedral in Linz. The church was built at great sacrifice by the parish population. The parish and church patron saint is St. Andrew the Apostle. The church itself was consecrated in 1895, but the tower was not completed until 1907 and the organ was purchased in 1912. During a group tour, you will learn about the construction history of the Mühlviertel cathedral and at the same time gain an exciting insight into a time of great religious and social upheaval, which also left its mark on a small village. ![Gemeindehaus 1](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/396402/83471EA988BBD4640418F929C3285263882C143298A5B97721994451F173DC9B/gemeindehaus-1.jpg "Gemeindehaus 1") Public WC facilities A **public toilet facility** is available to all visitors in the **Niederkappel community center**.
