The Attel Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey in Attel in the municipality of Wasserburg am Inn in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim . The former abbey church is now the parish church of St. Michael in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .

history

The Benedictine monastery , consecrated to Saints Maria and Saint Michael, was founded by Count Arnold von Diessen-Andechs around 1037, but subsequently fell into place again. In 1137 the monastery was restored under Count Engelbert von Limburg . A heyday began in the middle of the 15th century when the Melker Reform was introduced in Attel from Tegernsee in 1452 . Approx. In 1478/1482 a new main altar was commissioned, which is now in the State Gallery at Burghausen Castle (Attel Altar) and was recently attributed to the Landshut court painter Sigmund Gleismüller . In 1509 the donor's high grave, which has been preserved to this day, was erected.

In 1803 the monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization . The monastery buildings were partly demolished and partly acquired by private parties. In 1874 the Brothers of Mercy took over the buildings that had been preserved, in which they looked after and cared for disabled people.

Interior of the parish church

Under Abbot Cajetan Scheyerl (r. 1703–1723), Thomas Mayr demolished the Romanesque three-aisled basilica from the 12th century and replaced it with a new baroque building. The abbey church, consecrated in 1715, was furnished in the Rococo style under Abbot Nonnosus Moser (r. 1723–1756) in the following decades. A renovation took place in 1977/1978.

The large hall space over five axes has a retracted semicircular closing choir and a north tower with a coupled lantern . In the west, the Vorjoch has a tuff portal and an organ gallery. In the hall there are cross-vaulted chapel rooms between wall pillars in the basement and cross-barrel vaulted galleries on the upper floor. The nave has a needle cap barrel with belt arches above pilasters . The church was stuccoed by Benedikt Zöpf in 1715 with geometric ornamental shapes with rosettes, garlands and acanthus tendrils. The stucco work in the side chapels was influenced by Johann Baptist Zimmermann .

Furnishing

The high altar from 1731 shows the high altar sheet Apocalyptic Woman by Brother Leander Laubacher as a copy by the painter Peter Paul Rubens . On the side are the figures of Saints Benedict and Scholastica . In the excerpt there is a group of figures with St. Michael. The tabernacle picture shows St. Trinity. In the eastern yoke is the cross altar by Constantin Pader (1665). The cross altar shows a crucifix of grace from the 13th century with the figures of St. Johannes Evangelist and Magdalena and in the excerpt God the Father with the globe. The side altars were built around 1715 and mostly show pictures of his brother Sebastian Zobl.
