Pfarrkirche Kefermarkt Upper Austria Part of the Gotikstrasse project. Some churches wear their history on the outside. This one has it on its wings Built around 1470 as a pilgrimage church for St. Wolfgang, commissioned by Freiherr Christoph von Zelking, Kefermarkt's parish church could've stayed a footnote in regional Gothic architecture. Instead, it got an altar. Carved between 1490 and 1497 by an artist history never bothered to name, known only as the Meister von Kefermarkt, the winged altar is one of the last great works of late-Gothic woodcarving in Europe. Baroque side altars moved in during the 17th century. Woodworm moved in during the 19th, badly enough that the whole thing was stripped and restored by 1855, under the direction of writer Adalbert Stifter. The bugs finally lost in 1929, to poison gas. Five hundred-plus years later, it's still consecrated. Still holding mass. Still standing exactly where the Meister left it.
