About Pfarre Pfaffstätten
The Pfarre Pfaffstätten is the Catholic parish of the wine village between Baden and Gumpoldskirchen. The parish office and parish hall are at Heiligenkreuzergasse 4. Since 1783 the parish priests have come without interruption from Heiligenkreuz Abbey (Stift Heiligenkreuz).

A long history
The village name comes from the estates and dwellings of clergy, the „Pfaffen“. Around 1120/35 the monasteries of Admont and Klosterneuburg had subjects in the village, joined by Melk and Heiligenkreuz, among others. In 1249 Margarete von Rohr gave her manor in Pfaffstätten, today's parish house, to Heiligenkreuz Abbey. In 1783 a court decree of Emperor Joseph II separated the parish from Baden and handed it to Heiligenkreuz Abbey.
The church has been through a lot: in 1691 it got a new roof truss because the Turks had destroyed the old one. In both world wars bells had to be surrendered. In 1946 the „11-erin“, a bell from 1685, returned to the tower. In 1992 the former farm building was converted into the parish hall, and in 1997 the parish church was renovated and damp-proofed.
