Maria Anger in Schlägl

The small Roman Catholic cemetery church stands north of Stift Schlägl in the village of Schlägl, Aigen-Schlägl municipality, Upper Austria. It was first recorded in 1416 and dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The church is surrounded by a walled cemetery and protected as a listed monument. The building began as a parish church in the 14th century, was secularised in 1785, and became the burial place for the abbots of Stift Schlägl in 1856. Its architecture mixes late Gothic, late Renaissance and early Baroque elements, with a neo-Gothic renovation in the mid-19th century. The interior features a three-bay nave under a ribbed vault, a narrow Gothic choir with a star vault, and a west gallery on Tuscan columns. Visitors find a late Gothic west portal, a round early Baroque stair turret, and a south shoulder-arched door under a small porch. Inside, the high altar by Johann Petz shows a central niche with the Immaculate Conception and side tracery wings. The two-towered organ by Josef Breinbauer has seven stops. Many slate epitaphs line the walls, including one for Abbot Dominik Lebschy and a 1707 relief of a boy with a soap bubble.
