Parish Church Klingenbach

The Roman Catholic parish church of Klingenbach is located in the multilingual community of Klingenbach in the Eisenstadt-Umgebung district in Burgenland. The parish church of St. James the Greater belongs to the deanery of Trausdorf in the Diocese of Eisenstadt. The church is a protected monument. The first documented mention was in the year 1276, when the former city judge of Ödenburg named Pero donated the community of Klingenbach, including the local St. James Church, to the Cistercians from the Marienberg Monastery. There is a so-called Klingenbach Missal, a missal that contains historical notes. After the Turkish wars and widespread destruction, Croats settled the area. There, the oldest documents of Croatian literature in Burgenland were created.
