The Neue Pfarrkirche Götzis stands in the centre of Götzis, a market town in the Feldkirch district of Vorarlberg. It is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Ulrich and protected as a listed building. A modern parish centre was added in 1981 across from the church.

The church was built between 1862 and 1865 to designs by architect Anton Geppert, with master builder J. Wilhelm. Later interior work was carried out by Anton Rhomberg. The building combines a nave, transepts, a choir with a rounded apse and a twin-towered west front. The towers rise in three stages, each with its own rhythm of openings and a steep spire.

Inside, the church has a three-aisled nave of six bays, a transept of three square bays and a square choir bay ending in the rounded apse. The windows are set in arcaded wall strips. Coloured glass includes large rosettes by Mila Bjelik-Stöhr and nave windows by Martin Häusle. The furnishings include a 1957 altar relief by Herbert Albrecht and a 1962 apse fresco by Josef Hofer and Walter Khüny.
