St. Georg (Memmenhausen)
The Catholic parish church of St. Georg in Memmenhausen , a district of the municipality of Aichen in the Swabian district of Günzburg ( Bavaria ), was built in the first half of the 16th century. The church at St.-Georg-Straße 3, surrounded by the old cemetery wall, is a protected architectural monument .
description
The tower - with a gable roof , triforias and three-pass friezes - and the polygonal choir date from the late Gothic period. The longhouse is in its foundation walls from the same period.
The altars and the pulpit were erected between 1680 and 1715. The high altar comes from St. Moritz in Augsburg .
The church was made Baroque in 1752/53. The stucco probably comes from Caspar Radmiller. In 1954/55 the old frescoes from the 19th century were replaced by new ones by Florian Bosch, in the nave “The Last Paradise” (before: Beheading of John the Baptist), in the choir room “Resurrection of Christ” (as before).
