Pfarrkirche Kalsdorf bei Graz

The parish church in Kalsdorf near Graz is a modern Roman Catholic church in the market town of Kalsdorf in the Graz-Umgebung district of Styria. It stands under Denkmalschutz, a national list of protected buildings. The church is dedicated to Saint Paul of Tarsus and belongs to the Steiermark Mitte region within the Diocese of Graz-Seckau. The building was designed by architect Hermann Worschitz and constructed between 1963 and 1965. Its concrete structure includes a detached bell tower. The stained-glass windows were created by Helga Zoltner. The high altar cross, made of enamel, was designed by Alexander Silveri. A statue of the Virgin Mary was carved by Josef Papst in 1972. Visitors find a modern church interior with clean lines and natural light filtering through Zoltner’s glasswork. The detached bell tower stands apart from the main building, adding to the architectural clarity. The enamel high altar cross and the 1972 statue of Mary are focal points inside. The church’s modernist style contrasts with older traditions while remaining a place of quiet reflection.
