Pfarrkirche Weikersdorf am Steinfelde

The parish church of Weikersdorf am Steinfelde stands in the village of Weikersdorf in Lower Austria. It is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint James the Greater and belongs to the Wiener Neustadt deanery. The building is protected as a national monument.

The church dates back to 1220 and was originally a branch of the parish in Bad Fischau-Brunn. Its Romanesque core from the early 13th century survives in the choir square. After damage in the Turkish war of 1683, a major Baroque renovation took place in 1753 under Domherr Franz Zeißler. The medieval nave was replaced, the choir raised by half a metre and vaulted, and the tower given its Baroque helmet.

Outside, the church shows a plain Baroque façade with segment-arched windows and a half-hipped roof over the nave. The Gothic tower at the east end has slit windows, a Baroque clock gable and a bell chamber. Inside, the nave has three unequal bays with Platzl vaulting and a west gallery on slender piers. The high altar of the late 18th century carries an 1859 painting of Saint James flanked by statues of Saints Francis and Anthony. The left side altar holds a 1900 statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, the right a 19th-century image of Our Lady of Help.
