History and description

The previous building of the parish church of the Assumption dates back to the 13th century, i.e. the transition period from the Romanesque to the Gothic. The substructure of the tower and the western vestibule with the portal integrated there still testify to this today . Some pieces of equipment were taken from this building: the marble - baptismal font from the 13th century, the Gothic miraculous image of Mary with the Child from the 14th century and some Gothic epitaphs of the lords of Cologne Bach and Hoholtinger from the 14th and 15th centuries. Even later, the church was the final resting place of these noble families , who had their aristocratic residence in the nearby Großköllnbach . In the 15th century in particular, it was also the central church for a wide area and was very important as a pilgrimage church of Our Lady on the Moos - hence the name Dom im Moos , which is still used today .

The current late Gothic building in the form of a relay hall was completed in 1491 and consecrated in 1492 . The exterior, consisting of a five-bay nave and a two-bay choir with a five-eighth end , is structured by buttresses and ogival window openings. Over the years the church has been redesigned several times. As was done in 1754, the Baroque style and in 1878 in the wake of historicism , the re-gothicised . There is also a modern oratorio annex to the choir . In the years 1984 to 1986 the last thorough renovation was carried out.

Surroundings

Cemetery and war memorial chapel

The parish church of the Assumption of Mary is - surrounded by a large cemetery - at the southeast end of the Pilstingen market square . Immediately to the west of the church is the cemetery and war memorial chapel . The building, which is also late Gothic, was redesigned in the Baroque style in the 18th century and, unlike the parish church, was never regotified. That is why it now has arched window openings and a roof turret with an onion dome . On the south side there is the still pointed arch portal and a small annex that serves as the Mount of Olives chapel.
