Pfarrei Beckenried Church - Beckenried, Nidwalden, Switzerland - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

[DE - Google Translate]
Die mittelalterliche Kapelle in Beckenried wurde 1598 durch eine neue mit drei Altären ersetzt, die der päpstliche Nuntius am 16. Juni der "Herrlichkeit Gottes, der glorreichen Jungfrau Maria und des heiligen Heinrich und Andreas" geweiht hat.

Nach der Pfarrerkundung 1640 wurde unter dem Chorbogen ein Fronaltar errichtet, wie es damals für Pfarrkirchen üblich war. Die heutige Kultstätte stammt aus Plänen von Nikolaus Purtschert und entwickelte sich zwischen 1790 und 1794 im Stil des Spätbarocks. Wegen lokaler Unruhen 1798 und in den folgenden Jahren (Helvetics) wurde es erst 1807 geweiht.

The medieval chapel in Beckenried was replaced in 1598 by a new one with three altars, which the Papal Nuncio consecrated on 16 June to the "glory of God, the glorious Virgin Mary and St. Henry and Andrew".

After the parish survey in 1640 a Fronaltar was built under the choir arch, as was then usual for parish churches. Today's place of worship is from plans of Nikolaus Purtschert and developed between 1790 and 1794 in the style of the late Baroque. Because of local unrest in 1798 and in the following years (Helvetics), it was consecrated only in 1807.
