Filialkirche Glasing

The small Roman Catholic branch church in Glasing stands in the village centre beside the Glasinger Straße in Güssing, Burgenland. It is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and protected by national listing. A plain rectangular nave under a pitched roof is joined by a lower, five-sided choir and a single-storey sacristy on the east side. The north tower, two storeys high, forms part of the front wall and is capped by a steep pyramid roof.

The church was built between 1925 and 1926 to designs by master builder Johann Neubauer from Jennersdorf. Funds came from the local council, villagers and former residents who had emigrated to America. Earlier services had been held in Güssing parish church while a wooden bell-tower served the hamlet. The building has been restored several times, most recently in 2011.

Inside, a barrel-vaulted lobby leads to a two-bay nave with cross-ribs on pilasters and a raised choir topped by a saucer vault. A two-storey west gallery rests on two columns and has a three-part balustrade. The apse holds the main altar between round-arched windows, with a freestanding altar in front. The pulpit is set against the east wall, and the walls carry late-Nazarene and Beuronese-style paintings.
