history

In the first documentary mention of Baierbrunn in 776, a stone church is mentioned. It was rebuilt around 1165, and around 1175 it is listed in the "Schäftlarner Traditions" under the patronage of St. Peter the Apostle . Further new buildings were built after 1501 in the late Gothic style and from 1686, after the village and church had been destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1632 , in the Baroque style . The design comes from Martin Gunetzrhainer , who also managed the construction. Gunetzrhainer also included remnants of the old building in the new building. The church was consecrated in 1709. After the construction of the new parish church St. Peter and Paul in 1958/59 at the northern end of the village, the old church was threatened with demolition, but could be prevented by a citizens' initiative. The old church was placed under the patronage Patrona Bavariae . In 1975 the interior was restored. Another restoration took place from 2010 to 2013.

The high altar dates from around 1690. The altarpiece above the tabernacle shows a crescent moon Madonna . It is framed by two pairs of columns and flanked by figures of the apostles Peter and Paul . The extract shows a painting from the beginning of the 20th century, showing Jesus as a boy.

The two side altars date from around 1734. They have a similar structure to the high altar. In both there is a figure of a saint, flanked by two columns, and in the excerpt they show a painting from 1873. In the left (north) side altar there is a figure of St. Leonhard and a painting of the Annunciation , in the right (south) side altar there is a figure of St. John Nepomuk and a painting of the dream of St. Joseph .
