Expositurkirche hl. Eusebis, in Brederis

The parish church of Brederis stands in the village of Brederis, part of Rankweil in Vorarlberg. It is dedicated to Saint Eusebius of Rankweil and belongs to the Rankweil deanery in the Diocese of Feldkirch. The building is protected as a listed monument.

The church was designed by architect Jakob Marte and completed in 1959. Its exterior is a simple rectangular structure under a pitched roof, with a recessed lower choir and a north tower topped by a Latin cross. The four bells include two cast in 1958 and 1974, one of which bears the note E flat. Inside, a wide flat-ceilinged nave leads to the choir, where Hannes Bertle’s stained glass fills the space with colour.

Visitors enter through a pillared porch and find a curved west gallery supported by two columns. The late-Gothic high altar, carved around 1510 by Ivo Strigel, features figures of Saint Anne, Saint John and Saint Joseph, along with scenes of the Agony in the Garden and the Last Supper. A 17th-century painting of the Glory of Saint Eusebius hangs nearby, and the 1860 Schönach organ, restored in 1963, plays during services.
