The Church of St. Birgitta is a Roman Catholic parish church of the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising in Unterhaching . It is located in the residential area "Fasanenpark" and bears the patronage of Saint Birgitta of Sweden .

history

With the construction of the new "Fasanenpark" housing estate in the north of Unterhaching from 1966, planning for a third Catholic church in the village began. In 1971 the church building on Parkstrasse was consecrated by Julius Cardinal Döpfner . St. Birgitta of Sweden is chosen as the patronage, also because the mother parish bears the patronage of St. Alto and the choice of name for both churches could refer to the pilgrimage church of St. Alto and Birgitta in Altomünster .
