Parish Church of St. Martin in the Tennengebirge

The parish church of St. Martin is a Roman Catholic church in the municipality of St. Martin am Tennengebirge in the district of St. Johann im Pongau in the state of Salzburg. The feast of the patronage is celebrated on November 11. It belongs to the deanery of Altenmarkt in the Archdiocese of Salzburg. A church building was already mentioned in a document in 1171, and in 1185 the Abbey of Admont is named as the builder. Between 1303 and 1803, the church was incorporated into the Augustinian canons' monastery of St. Zeno in Reichenhall. Between 1421 and 1432, a new building was erected, presumably with Niklas Velbacher from Salzburg as the master builder. In 1563, it was referred to as an Expositur and was elevated to a parish church in 1857. Extensions took place in 1674 and 1870, and renovations were carried out in 1893, 1937, 1949, 1955, and 1972. In one of these renovations, the furnishings created by Lorenz Kreuztaler in the early 17th century were lost or are considered missing.
