The Roman Catholic parish church of Waizenkirchen is located in the market town of Waizenkirchen in the Grieskirchen district of Upper Austria. The church, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, belongs to the Peuerbach deanery.

The church was built as a stone structure at the end of the 8th century under the bishops of Passau. In the 18th century, the Gothic church fell victim to fire twice. Due to the great poverty and hardship, reconstruction was only carried out in a simple manner. Extensions and several renovations followed until the present parish church was built. The late Baroque church with Gothic elements was restored in 1987 and boasts a remarkable interior. Key details about the church: The church tower, including the tower cross, is 48 meters high. The warrior bell, or Twelve-year-old, weighs 1,489 kilograms. The Gothic main portal. The Baroque main altar. An altarpiece of Mary, St. Sebastian, and the Cross. The four altarpieces were designed by the famous painter Martin Johann Schmidt, known as "Kremser Schmidt." At Christmas time, the Hallstatt nativity scene is displayed there.

The Aistersheim moated castle is one of the most beautiful in Upper Austria. The entire castle stands on a myriad of wooden pilots and is completely surrounded by water. Two massive wooden bridges lead to the two large entrance gates. Although it was actually a defensive structure that has been besieged several times throughout history, the builders managed to create one of the finest examples of late Renaissance architecture. A visit or an inspection of this beautiful building is worthwhile!

Johann Gmeiner Pastor: Petr. Prichoc Old and new shape the ensemble of the newly inaugurated in 2005 Roman Catholic. Parish Church in Gallspach. It is the architect team DI. Ernst Beneder and DI. Anja Fischer did an excellent job of connecting the new modern church with the old church and tower following the rising slope in a ring-shaped structure. This unique architecture has already made our new parish church known all over the country. Particularly worth seeing is the covered Way of the Cross by the local artist Erwin Burgstaller, which runs in a ring around the church, as well as the tombstones of the ruling noble families "Geymann and Hoheneck" in the area of the old church, which is now used as a farewell room.

About 1,300 years ago, Christianity may have gained a foothold in this area. So it can be assumed that the evangelization of the Trattnachtal was carried out by the messengers of the faith of Saint Robert from Salzburg. But as I said, this consideration is only to be accepted. The first church in Taufkirchen an der Trattnach was probably a wooden church. Due to the lack of historical documents, the age of the parish cannot be determined exactly. The epitaph was probably erected in 1607, since Grimmelius died in 1617. Grimmelius created the oldest Urban in 1600. The outside of the church is also adorned with old tombstones made of red marble next to the sacristy outside door from 1553. The oldest tombstone points to a priest. Letters that are still legible and the gothic goblet shape reveal that the jewel is from the 15th century. It adorns the bell tower of the church tower. The largest epitaph came as an "entry stone" in front of the main portal of the church. Because of the heavy weight and the illegible inscription, the walls were not walled in. It may have fallen victim to a pickaxe later when the church square was renovated. The grave monuments mentioned lay on the floor of the nave and were walled in under Pastor Klinger in 1899.
