Virgin Mary Immaculate Conception (Sandersdorf)
The Church of the Immaculate Conception is a sacred building in Sandersdorf , a district of the Altmannstein community in the Eichstätt district . It is a branch church of the parish of Schamhaupten. The Church's patronage is celebrated on December 8th.
Building history
At its core, it is a Gothic building that was renewed or expanded at the beginning of the 18th century and adapted to the new sense of style. The choir is likely to contain parts of the previous Romanesque building. A comprehensive interior renovation took place in 1965. Further renovations took place in 1986, 1996 and 2001.
Exterior construction
The simple church building is located within a spacious, walled cemetery. The nave and the choir, which is closed on three sides, merge without any spatial separation. On the north side is the sacristy with a pent roof, on the south side, also covered by a pent roof, a rulership oratorio for the de Bassus family at Sandersdorf Castle . In the west rises a small tower with two square floors with an entrance portal and light hatches, the octagonal bell floor with sound openings is covered with an onion dome. Between the tower and the north wall of the nave there is a small staircase extension that leads to the gallery.
Interior and equipment
The architectural simplicity of the exterior is also continued inside the church. The nave has a flat roof and is framed by a stucco profile. A large Christogram (IHS) catches the eye in the ceiling plan. The western part is dominated by a simple gallery with a neo-Gothic organ prospect. The choir in the east is covered by a flat barrel vault with stitch caps. On the southern side wall, a large arched window allows a view of the adjoining rule oratorio. On the front wall, a painted cartouche shows the coat of arms of Baron de Bassus, lords of Sandersdorf Castle (1792). The opulent furnishings of the church stand in stark contrast to the simplicity of the architecture. The splendid high altar dates from the early Rococo period. An inscription on the back names the altar carpenter Johann Schwäbl and the date 1731 (redesign 1792, renovations 1873 and 1960). A total of four columns, the outer ones turned, carry the entablature with a far cantilevered cornice, above it in an extension in a halo of God the Father with globe. The center is a flat niche with a late Gothic Madonna and Child on the crescent moon (around 1470/80). It is assigned to the area around the Eichstätter carving workshops and was a highly revered miraculous image until the 18th century, as preserved votive images testify. Two cherubs on the reredos flank the group. On the side of the high altar are arched passages, above which are the late baroque figures of St. Barbara with a chalice and Katharina with a wheel and sword. The two side altars, created at the same time and in close stylistic connection with the high altar, are constructed identically. The twisted columns of the altarpiece support a cranked entablature; Carved tendrils (acanthus and ribbon work) frame the altars on the sides. The altar panel on the left shows Maria and her mother Anna, on the right is the care of the wounded St. Sebastian through St. Irene shown (both around 1730/35).
The following pieces of equipment also come from the Baroque period around 1830/35: Figures of St. Joseph and St. Antonius, both with the baby Jesus (north and south choir arch); Candlestick angels on carrying poles (formerly processional figures), lecture cross (second half of the 18th century), baroque pulpit with angled opening without sound cover (northern country house wall), Pieta in a barred wall niche and St. Nicholas with crosier and book with three golden apples (south wall of the nave), the latter possibly by the artist of the choir arch figures, small-format late Baroque Christ on the scourge column (west wall), baroque church stalls with ornamentally carved cheeks. The way of the cross on the nave walls dates from the 1960s.
