History and description

The church was built in 1958 to replace the demolished Alt-Fall chapel when this hamlet was relocated because it had to give way to the Sylvenstein reservoir . The architect was Paul Kranendick.

The post-war modern octagonal church hall has a with crowd shingles roofed hipped roof . To the west is the spire - ridge turret containing three small bells, the smallest of which still comes from the old Faller chapel. South of the church building itself includes the Mesnerhaus on.

The historical part of the furnishings still comes from the old Faller chapel. The baroque figure of the Queen of Mary stands - as was the case in the old chapel - in the center of the altar. It originally comes from the Maria Einsiedeln monastery in Switzerland and was taken from there on foot to Lenggries by a Lenggries farmer before 1908.

The church has a small organ that the Hindelang brothers from Ebenhofen built in 1960. When this became unplayable over time, an electronic organ was purchased around the mid-1990s . It wasn't until 2015 that Iffeldorfer organ builder Dieter Schingnitz repaired the instrument.
