A chapel was called in the 12th century. After re -establishment or new construction of the chapel, the inauguration was inaugurated by the Auxiliary Bishop Bartholomew on March 3, 1643. [first] Today’s church was built in 1928, including the baroque predecessor building from 1642, as a war of the war. In 1962/63 the church tower was added and the establishment of the war memorial on its northeastern side. The sacristy was grown in 1969 and in 1970 the altar space was redesigned and a folk altar was set up. [2]

Gablitz was a branch of Mauerbach from 1411 until the Charterhouse was dissolved in 1782, then belonged to the parish of Purkersdorf. In 1937 Gablitz became an independent parish. [2] Since October 1, 2012, the parishes Maria Himmelfahrt (Mauerbach) and Maria Rast (Steinbach) have been a pastor with the parish of St. Laurentius in Gablitz. [3]

Church cereal

The nave, which is located to the southwest, with round windows and a collapsed semicircle sapsis was grown onto the original chapel and connected by three wall breakthroughs, so that the chapel with the hipped roof has the function of a lobby. The high church tower with slot windows and a pyramid roof was grown on the southeast side of the chapel. The painter Rudolf Pleban created the Sgraffito on the south side of the church tower. [4]
