History and architecture
The beginnings of the Pemfling parish go back to around 1100. Around 1126 the pastoral care seat was relocated from the original parish of Chammünster to Cham , and Katzberg, located near Cham, became part of the Pemfling parish. For many decades the church served as an important pilgrimage church . The parish of Pemfling can be safely traced in 1309. The new building of today's church was carried out between 1727 and 1736 by the carpenter Gallus Wolf from Schönthal. Restorations were carried out in 1978/1979, 1994 and 2005/2006.
The baroque hall church with a semicircular east end and a choir the width of a ship has a tower with an eight-sided top and onion dome . The outer structure is formed by Tuscan pilasters . The short, high and wide interior is closed by a barrel vault with stitch caps over three-tiered Tuscan pilasters. The corners of the choir and nave are bevelled or rounded towards the choir arch . The ceiling paintings from the time of construction are attributed to Andreas Merz from Marktoberdorf . In the choir is Petri fishing, in the ship mariological scenes are shown, which are embedded in a painted stucco decoration made of shell and ribbon work . On the parapet of the two-storey west gallery scenes from the life of St.'re down John Nepomuk , above the Salvator mundi and the Apostles shown. The stained glass shows medallions with busts of saints.
Furnishing
The magnificent furnishings from 1737 and the following years are attributed to the Kötzting sculptor Johannes Paul Hager. The high altar with four winding and two smooth columns as well as lateral openings shows four larger than life figures, inside the Saints Peter and Paul , outside Leonhard and Walburga . The altar extract shows the Virgin Mary in a halo as well as the construction and consecration dates 1737 and 1755. The altar panel, possibly created by Valentin Reuschl from Waldmünchen, shows the crucifixion of St. Andrew .
The side altars are tall, concave retables with pilasters, winding columns, four side figures and two busts of saints from 1756; they are also attributed to Hager. The left side altar shows in the altar sheet the crucified as well as figures of the Sorrowful Mother of God, Saints Johannes Evangelista , Sebastian and Florian and in the extract the Lamb of God flanked by Johannes Evangelista and Johannes the Baptist . The right side altar shows the miraculous image , a late Gothic figure of Our Lady from around 1470/1480, as well as the side figures of Saints Zacharias, John the Baptist, Franz Xaver and Johann Nepomuk ; in the extract the Holy Trinity is represented.
The pulpit is a work from 1755 and shows reliefs on the basket with the parables of the sower, the handing over of the keys and Petri fishing. St. Francis Xavier or Paul is depicted on the sound cover, who is surrounded by personifications of unbelief, over which he triumphs with his sermon.
The organ case , the confessionals and the cheeks are decorated with foliage and bandwork ornaments and date from around 1737. The images of the Stations of the Cross are from the Rococo . Several baroque figures of saints are still to be mentioned; A sculpture of St. Andrew from around 1480 has been preserved on the north wall.
