The foundation stone of the preserved church was laid on July 5, 1745 by the Steingaden abbot Marianus II Mayr. On this day the 600th anniversary of Ingenried's donation to the Steingaden monastery was celebrated. The shell was already completed the following year.

On a piece of paper in the tower button, the Landsberg Dominikus Zimmermann is handed down as the builder of the church ( architectore sepectabili domino Dominico Zimmermann Landsbergensi ). The creator of the nearby Wieskirche apparently looked after both construction sites at the same time.

On August 31, 1754, the Augsburg auxiliary bishop Franz Xaver Adelmann of Adelmannsfelden consecrated the parish church.

In 1878/79 the baroque furnishings were removed . In 1932/33, the poor state of construction forced the renewal of the ceilings, which were in danger of collapsing. In 1975 the exterior was renovated. The interior renovation began in 1978.

description

The outline of the parish church is reminiscent of the much better known Wieskirche due to the hipped roof over the nave and the lowered choir roof. The elegant tower rises above the curved east facade. Joseph Dossenberger the Elder also used a similar concept . J. with his Swabian church buildings. The terrain slopes down to the south and east and gives the tower with its lantern-crowned copper dome an additional long-distance effect.

The simple exterior of the church is enlivened by continuous base and cornice. Narrow arched windows illuminate the interior. The choir has moved in, so it is narrower than the nave. The choir angles are rounded on the outside. In the east, a sign (porch) allows entry.

Interior

The spacious hall is structured by stuccoed double pilasters. The double west gallery above the entrance offers additional space. The flat barrel of the nave was renewed like the choir vault in the 1930s.

The ceiling paintings were created by Jakob Huwyler II in 1933. The large nave fresco shows the Assumption of Mary, the round choir painting illustrates the divine virtues. A fragment of the 18th century painting was uncovered above the choir arch . The coats of arms of the Abbey of St. Mang in Füssen and of Abbot Aemilian Hafner (1778–1803) can be seen in a cartouche painted gray on gray . On the right a putto holds the abbot's staff.

Furnishing

The pulpit and the altars are creations of neo-Romanesque (1878/79). The high altar sheet could be repurchased in 1944 from the Dürckheim collection in Steingaden. The composition of the important oil painting of the dragon fight is reminiscent of works by Matthäus Günther , but for stylistic reasons it should not come from his circle.

The side altar leaves are painted in the Nazarene style. The north altar shows a Pietà , the south altar shows the birth of Christ.

Of the individual figures, a standing Madonna with the child on the left side altar deserves special mention. The late Gothic work originally comes from nearby Dietleried. The version (painting) from more recent times is approaching the medieval original condition.

The crucifix opposite the pulpit was made around 1510, a little earlier (around 1500) the statues of Pope Silvester and St. Catherine . The popular representation of the dragon fight of St. Georg comes from the middle of the 18th century.

The parish church, together with the former sacristan's house from the first half of the 18th century adjoining it to the south, forms an ensemble that characterizes the town. The plastered post construction with its flat gable roof was renovated in 1996. In doing so, the rich stand structure could be exposed.
