Pfarrhaus
Pfarrhaus stands before you with a broad baroque form, a mansard hipped roof, and a prominent exterior staircase. The building’s core dates to 1695, while its visible structure and staircase took shape after 1761.
For centuries, the building served as the parish priest’s residence, workplace, and spiritual centre. During catastrophic floods, its rooms became emergency accommodation, meeting spaces, and a temporary doctor’s practice for people displaced by the water. Volunteers, parishioners, neighbours, and helpers gathered here as everyday life reorganised around mutual support.
That history remains visible in the contrast between the formal staircase and the practical welcome once offered behind the doors.
