The fishermen's church in the Statutory Rust in Burgenland is a former Roman Catholic church and was armed to St Pancras and Giles dedicated. The former church is now used almost exclusively a museum and cultural purposes. It is located on a hillside in the southwest part of town. The building is surrounded by a churchyard, which was once a cemetery, and surrounded a fortified wall. The term "fishermen's church" did not come until the mid-20th Century and can be traced back to a legend.
