Culture and sights

Interior of St. Georg (Gachenbach)
  • Parish church of St. Georg in Gachenbach

The parish church of St. Georg in Gachenbach is probably the oldest church in the Schrobenhausen area. Erected in the 12th century, Romanesque architectural features can be found again. There are wall paintings from the 14th century and the high altar is decorated with paintings from the 15th century. The flat wooden ceiling from the late 17th century, which was painted by Balthasar Kraft in 1859, is particularly impressive. St. Mary is depicted in the center, and around her the fourteen helpers in need and numerous saints and church fathers. In contrast to the splendid furnishings of the nearby Maria Beinberg pilgrimage church, St. Georg in Gachenbach looks rather modest and simple, but the furnishings and architecture in the Schrobenhausen area are unique.
