St. Andreas is a Catholic branch church in Anwalting , a district of the Affing community in the Swabian district of Aichach-Friedberg ( Bavaria ). The church was built in the second half of the 16th century. It is protected as an architectural monument.

history

The church is first documented in the archives in 935 and had "significant rights" earlier. The church, consecrated to the Apostle Andrew , still has the original choir and the tower substructure from the second half of the 16th century. In 1667 the nave was renewed and the eastern tower was raised and provided with an onion dome. The nave was expanded in 1934. In a fire in the church on February 2, 2010, the left side altar was burned.

architecture

A drawn-in choir, closed on three sides and with a vaulted cap, adjoins the flat-roofed hall building with a drawn-in eastern yoke .

Furnishing

The church patron Andreas is depicted on a fresco in the choir by Sigismund Reis from around 1760/70. The high altar has a figure of St. Andrew, next to it there are figures of St. Lawrence and Pope Gregory the Great . The right side altar has a picture of St. Sebastian , which is dated around 1480. The organ was built in 2015 by the Franz Schreier company from Thierhaupten. It has two manuals and a pedal with 16 stops .
