Discover Feldkirchen bei Mattighofen

Feldkirchen bei Mattighofen combines sacred architecture, pilgrimage tradition and regional culture with travel planning that can be adapted to a wide range of interests. The pilgrimage church “Our Dear Lady Maria of Good Counsel at Gstaig” is particularly prominent. It is regarded as an outstanding example of sacred architecture in the Innviertel and is also an important pilgrimage centre. Due to its elevated location in the centre of the village, Gstaig Pilgrimage Church is also an important landmark shaping the character of the town and landscape for the entire region.

Ecclesiastical Art and Historical Features

In Gstaig, it is worth taking a closer look at the artistic details: the original colouring of the Vierthaler stucco was restored at the pilgrimage church. This makes a specific aspect of the interior visible, complementing the cultural and historical character of the site. Other sacred buildings in the municipality also create their own distinctive accents. Vormoos Branch Church has a vestibule with a cross vault and square stucco on its eastern side. The walled Aschau Branch Church stands on a hill in the north-east of the village of Aschau.

The historical diversity also includes the Bräusalettl of the former brewery, together with its furnishings, at Oichten 23, 5143 Feldkirchen bei Mattighofen (Oichten). This Bräusalettl is protected as a listed monument by official decree pursuant to Section 3. Those interested in rural architecture and everyday history can include this historical connection in their choice of travel themes just as they can sacred architecture. The so-called Kaspargut in Gietzing is a well-preserved example of Upper Innviertel farm-building and carpentry traditions, broadening the perspective on the region’s architectural heritage.

The 4-Church Trail as a Themed Travel Idea

The 4-Church Trail offers a special combination of exercise and culture. The circular trail is 19.4 kilometres long and connects four churches in the municipality of Feldkirchen bei Mattighofen. The route is located in the Oberinnviertel-Mattigtal region. This gives you a clear choice when planning your trip: you can focus your stay more strongly on a longer circular trail or place individual churches and cultural and historical themes at the centre of your visit. The precise significance of the individual stops is just as important as the route itself.

Religious events may also be of interest when planning your trip. On the 13th of every month, visitors are invited to the Fatima celebration at Vormoos Branch Church. In addition, the “Kultur im Dorf” cultural association regularly organises lectures, readings, cabaret evenings and musical performances in the municipality of Feldkirchen bei Mattighofen. This means that, alongside churches and historic buildings, recurring cultural events in the village are also available to choose from.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Travel Plans?

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Feldkirchen bei Mattighofen, it helps to define your preferred focus early on. Are you primarily interested in pilgrimage tradition and ecclesiastical art, the 4-Church Trail, or the combination of cultural events and regional architectural history? The 19.4-kilometre circular trail can be included as a separate focus in your travel planning.

Feldkirchen bei Mattighofen is therefore a suitable destination for anyone who does not want to define their stay solely through a single attraction. Gstaig Pilgrimage Church, Vormoos, Aschau, the 4-Church Trail and the examples of regional farm-building traditions provide several independent ways to explore the municipality. For further travel planning, you can also explore the following local pages: Weng im Innkreis, Perwang am Grabensee, Schwand im Innkreis, Eggelsberg, Gilgenberg am Weilhart, Pischelsdorf am Engelbach, Moosdorf and Ostermiething.
