St. Georg cemetery chapel (Niederraunau)
The Catholic cemetery chapel St. Georg in Niederraunau is located on the southern outskirts in the so-called outer cemetery . The cemetery and the chapel are located east of a steep for Kammel sloping gently slope.
The current chapel building has been expanded again and again over the years. The oldest part, which includes the polygonal, recessed choir and only one window axis of the main room, dates from around 1500. Approximately 200 years later, the main room was built on behalf of the local lord at the time, Joseph Franz Eustach von Freyberg , who built today 's Niederraunau Castle was created under extended by a window axis. The ridge turret was only added in 1908, and the morgue , which resembles a sign, was added later.
The equipment of the chapel is down to the altarpiece, the Adoration of the Shepherds shows (1630), in the style of rococo. A wooden sculpture of St. George, the patron saint of the chapel, made around 1700 is no longer in the chapel, but on the sound cover of the Niederraunau parish church .
On the outside of the apex of the choir, there is a grave monument for the Commerzienrat Michael Schleifer (1847–1915) , an honorary citizen of the formerly independent market Niederraunau.
