Buildings and history
At the end of the reign of his predecessor Julius Heinrich von Rehlingen-Radau , construction of the church began in 1731 and was completed and inaugurated in 1733 under Prince Provost Cajetan Anton Notthracht von Weißenstein in the year when more than 1,100 Protestant residents were forced to leave the Berchtesgaden Provostry.
Erected under the direction of the Salzburg court architect Sebastian Stumpfegger , this church building is considered one of the most original works of Bavarian Rococo. In the floor plan in both the longitudinal and in the transverse axis symmetrically, the church has two constructed wooden towers, which shingled dome roofs are placed. The facade is plastered.
Furnishing
The church contains rich stucco work , the high altar and two side altars as well as a large ceiling painting by Innocent Anton Warathy , which shows the expulsion of the Protestants from the prince's provosty and which can be read in the lower chronogram of two cartouches translated from Latin:
- At the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin and Mother
- is the corrupting misconception here of this one
- Church has been driven out. (1733)
