Kath. Pfarrkirche hl. Margaretha mit Kirchhof und Grabsteinen
The Catholic parish church of St Margaret stands on a low hill in the village of Schrick, surrounded by a quiet cemetery. Built in the late 17th century, it replaced an earlier medieval structure and still shows the scars of wartime damage repaired soon after 1945. The church belongs to the Mistelbach-Pirawarth deanery and is protected as a listed monument. Inside the whitewashed walls, a three-bay nave rises under cross-ribbed vaults, its easternmost section lit by lunette windows above the side niches. The high altar holds a baroque crucifix above a modern mensa, while the pulpit, carved late in the 18th century, carries figures of saints and angels. A painted panel showing the Adoration of the Magi once served as the high-altar image before being moved to the side. Outside, the west tower rises in two storeys, its curved roof echoing the rhythm of the pilasters below. Three baroque gravestones and stone crosses lean against the south wall, their dates ranging from the 1740s to the 1860s, while a single bell cast in 1761 hangs ready to call the faithful.
