One of Rattenberg's special sights is the parish church of St. Virgil and St. Catherine.

This Gothic building has two naves. Once, it was a separate church for citizens and miners. Important artists redesigned the building in the Baroque style.

A chapel commemorates Saint Notburga, who was born in Rattenberg.

Noteworthy: an elevator leads from the Painter's Corner to the church portal. 😉

The immediate proximity of the steeply sloping Schlossberg site and the spatial limitations of the building site meant that the church building itself showed some special features.
The origins of the church are Gothic. It was built between 1473 and 1506 and acquired its current Baroque architectural style in the 18th century. The main artistic features are the so-called "Annenaltar" in the southern choir stalls with its statues, the vault frescoes by SB Faistenerger and Matthäus Günther and the Lourdes Shrine.
