Langwinkl is a Catholic place of pilgrimage in the municipality of Bayerbach in the Rottal-Inn district . The pilgrimage church of the Visitation of Mary, a subsidiary church of the Bayerbach parish, is visible from afar on an elevation.
History of the pilgrimage
The origin of the pilgrimage goes back to Johann Grienwald, son of a Salzburg blacksmith who was mute from birth. According to tradition, in 1628 he found a copy of the Mariahilf picture on the Langwinkler hill . After three pilgrimages to the Mariahilfkirche in Passau , he was able to speak.
In 1640 he built a chapel at the place where the picture was found, for which he had collected 50 guilders. He was supported by Wilhelm Ehrnreich von Ezenberg, the lord of the royal court, and despite the prohibition by the electoral keeper and the abbot of Asbach Abbey , a pilgrimage quickly developed that brought in plenty of sacrifice money. In 1643, a Capuchin priest from Italy gave the chapel a small image of the Virgin Mary, which was displayed instead of the image of the Helping Virgin Mary. As early as 1644, construction of a church began next to the wooden chapel. When Grienwald died of the plague in 1649, the construction work dragged on, but on May 19, 1686 the church was consecrated by Passau's auxiliary bishop Johann Maximus Steiner. The further equipment took place in the following years.
The clapboard- covered chapel had to be demolished in 1958 because it was dilapidated.
church
Due to the architectural relationship to the St. Salvator monastery church and the Vilshofen city tower , the builder Bartholomä Viscardi from Graubünden was suspected , according to other sources it is Domenico Cristoforo Zuccalli from Burghausen . The high altar was erected in 1685 by Andrea Solari from Como, the altarpiece with the Visitation of the Virgin Mary is a replacement from 1872. The side altars were made in 1675 and 1730, the pulpit around 1715. The lush vaulting was because of the similarity with the Passau cathedral and the pilgrimage church on the Gartlberg attributed to Giovanni Battista Carlone , according to other sources it comes from the Passau court artist Giovanni Pietro Camuzzi. The fresco in the choir depicts the absorption of Mary's soul into heaven and is attributed to the Passau painter Carl Adam. The ceiling painting, painted in oil on canvas, which represents the bodily acceptance of Mary into heaven , signed Antonius Perdolt 1694. From 1974 to 1976 the church was extensively renovated.
The church is under the number D-2-77-112-16 under monument protection .
