history
The church is dedicated to the apostle James . In 997, a capella ad Emmenhoven is mentioned in the traditions of the Emmeram monastery , for which the abbot Ramwod pays the interest on a hat for the lights in the chapels "Premberg and Emmhofen".
“ Let it be known to all who are faithful to Christ that Abbot Ramwold will go to two chapels, one of which is in Premberg a. d. Naab, the other one in Emhof, gave a hat so that this hat could reach the above-mentioned chapels with a light interest, but brasium (ie something edible) in the monks' cellars, on the condition that, if a foreign clergyman to the monastery wants to alienate these chapels, the abbot of this monastery will get back what he has given benevolently. "
The church has always stood within the ring of Emhof Castle ; a burial place was laid out near the church in earlier centuries.
The church tower from the time it was built is built into the northeast corner of the nave . The Romanesque portal on the north side also dates from the time the church was built. Below the current bell chamber, the round-arched sound openings of the Romanesque bell chamber have been preserved, three are walled up, one is open. Corner blocks of the Romanesque building can still be seen on the west side. The nave has a flat roof. In the 18th century the church was given a baroque dome. The last exterior renovation took place in 1989, the last interior renovation in 1993.
The church has three bells: the largest of them was cast by Johann Schelchshorn in 1671 in Regensburg , the second by Johann Ulrich Schelchhorn in 1702 in Neuburg . The third bell was recently donated by Josef Sperl († 2003) from Emhof.
The tower clock was donated at the beginning of the last century by the family of the castle owner at the time, a Freiherr von Rummel . The clock originally comes from the Capuchin monastery of Burglengenfeld , which was abandoned during the secularization of 1803.
