Lindum Church
The Lindumer Kircherl with the patronage of the discovery of the cross is a late Gothic (15th century) branch church of the parish of Oberdorfen in the Bavarian district of Erding . It stands on a hill away from the residential developments in Lindum and is particularly noticeable due to the slender octagonal roof turret above the west gable.
According to tradition, it was built as atonement for a hunting crime by Count Pliemel. Inside, the altarpiece on the right side altar with the oldest depiction of Maria Dorfen (1717) and the pulpit by Matthias Fackler (1774) are particularly noteworthy .
As one of the oldest preserved bells in the archdiocese (probably from the 12th century), the church's former bell can be viewed in the Freising Diocesan Museum.
Since the 1990s, events of the action group against the construction of the A 94 through the Isental have taken place every year around the church . This made the church one of the symbols of those who opposed the motorway.
