The Catholic chapel St. Georg (also called St. Georg am Weinberg ) in Schliersee , a market in the Upper Bavarian district of Miesbach , was built on a hill (vineyard) about 35 meters above the level of the Schliersee. The chapel at Hans-Miederer-Straße 4, above the parish church of St. Sixtus, is a protected architectural monument .

history

Georg von Waldeck the Elder had the building erected in the mid-14th century after he was freed from Turkish captivity. The choir followed in 1470. Over 130 years later, from 1606 onwards, Ludwig von Maxlrain (a son of Wolf Dietrich von Maxlrain ) redesigned the interior in an early Baroque style. He had chosen the church for his burial place and was buried in a crypt directly in front of the altar in 1608 .

In 1624 the high altar , which still exists today, was built . He is attributed to Stephan Zwinck from Miesbach . The northern side altar followed in 1628, but the southern one not until 1708. In 1781 the Maxlrain crypt collapsed, and part of the chapel jewelry was also destroyed. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that the St. Georgs Chapel shone in new splendor when the architectural painter Wilhelm Gail took care of its restoration, who liked to spend his summer in Schliersee. During this restoration, the organ was also installed, and the roof turret was built .
