The ensemble Market Square and Market Street in Untergriesbach , a municipality in the Lower Bavarian district of Passau is a building complex , which under monument stands. It includes the main street with its buildings and the dominant building of the parish church of St. Michae with an old cemetery and parsonage .

description

The west-east running, very straight road space, which is extended to the square, lies in the course of the old thoroughfare on a free mountain ridge. This location, which is characteristic of the market places in the lower Bavarian Forest , was expressed in the old name of the place "Griesbach am high market".

The oldest part of the settlement can probably be found in the area of ​​the parish church of St. Michael at the west end of the market square. From here, Marktstrasse was expanded to the east, which is likely to be associated with the granting of market rights by Bishop Otto von Passau in 1260.

At the north-eastern corner of the high churchyard walling, closed civil development begins. The mostly two-story plastered gable , eaves and half-hipped houses usually go back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Some are characterized by gothic cantilever portals , facade stucco in the forms of the late Baroque and facade structures in classical forms.

Marktstrasse forms the upper eastern part of the square. Their development is similar, but simpler than in the western part of the ensemble: Individual rural buildings have been preserved among the properties, which are integrated into the plaza walls on the street side and have courtyards to the rear.

The highlight of the ensemble is the baroque parish church of St. Michael, surrounded by the high cemetery, with its three high roofs and the tower, which optically complete the square in the west and whose appearance is still effective even in the higher eastern parts of the square.
