history
At the current location in the fortified church , which was built in the 16th century, there was already a church. It was dedicated to Saint Martin . The Church of St. Boniface was built from 1679 to 1681. In 1999 the church was renovated.
description
The vaulted choir of the church is to the east. The nave is flat-roofed. The slender Julius Echter tower is on the north side. The high altar, which was created around 1740 in the Rococo style , has an altarpiece of the Holy Family by Oswald Onghers and figures of Saints John and Boniface. The two side altars , also with altarpieces, may also have been made in the Rococo period. The pulpit is like a figure of the Virgin Mary to the right of the Baroque attributed. The font with the year 1591 was taken over from the old church. The organ on the western gallery is the work of an organ builder of the Schlimbach family.
Remarks
- ↑ This is how Georg Dehio dates it without naming the artist. In contrast, the altar on the website of the Bachgrund parish community is described as the work of the sculptor Herwith from Karlstadt, who replaced an altar that had been destroyed by a figure falling in 1751.
