Assumption of Mary (Nonnberg)
The Expositurkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt is the Catholic village church of Nonnberg , a district of the municipality of Pleiskirchen in the Upper Bavarian district of Altötting . It is co-administered by the parish of St. Nikolaus Pleiskirchen in the Diocese of Passau .
history
The first church in Nonnberg was built at the beginning of the 13th century and consecrated in 1218 by Rudiger von Bergheim-Radeck , Bishop of Chiemsee . Presumably, it originally served as the own church of the Meierhof located in the immediate vicinity . The church has been under the parish in Pleiskirchen since its consecration , but had its own separate culture from the beginning of the 16th century at the latest . In 1873 Nonnberg was raised to the position of Expositur .
The tower is still preserved from the original church building. The late Gothic choir and nave date from the beginning of the 15th century and were consecrated in 1427. The exterior was renovated in 1988.
Architecture and equipment
The church consists of a three-bay nave and a retracted, also three-bay choir with a three-eighth end . The west tower is provided with Gothic tracery windows and closes with a saddle roof over stepped gables. The room is accessed via a keel- arched south portal with a fluted frame, which shows a door leaf with rich cassette decoration and Gothic fittings. Inside, a net vault over flat wall pillars forms the conclusion, which rests on circular services in the nave and on short consoles in the choir.
The frescoes on the north side of the choir were exposed and restored in 1963. They show the Ten Commandments, the Last Judgment and tracery forms painted on the pillars.
Above the stone canteen in the choir there is a group of crosses with the Mother of Sorrows , Saint Michael and Guardian Angel from the end of the 17th century. To the north of the choir arch there is a carved figure of Our Lady from the middle of the 17th century.
