St. Jakobus (Ornbau)
St. Jakobus is a Catholic parish church at Bischof-Gundekar-Straße 3 in Ornbau .
Building
Ornbau is one of the oldest parishes in its region. It can be assumed that there was already a previous building to the church that Bishop Gundekar consecrated in 1053 on the site of today's parish church. The first church building could have been built soon after the Christianization of the upper Altmühltal .
Around 1967 the nave of the church was extended according to plans by the architect Josef Elfinger from Ingolstadt . It was given three high concrete gables on both sides with extensive glazing, which have since determined the spatial impression. From previous eras of are Romanesque sandstone tower and the Gothic former choir survived, in which the organ was placed. A sacrament house from 1502, a statue of the Madonna that was created around 1500, and several Gothic figures depicting Saints James and Stephen and the four patrons of the bishopric have not been lost either. A late baroque Pietà comes from a path chapel and was only transferred to the church in 1981.
The altar wall was decorated in 2000 by the Mörsach artist Reinhardt Zimmermann with a cycle of glass paintings.
The parish of St. Jakobus belongs to the diocese of Eichstätt . Together with the parishes of Mitteleschenbach, Windsbach, Veitsaurach and Wolframs-Eschenbach, it forms a network of parishes.
In 2008, the 950th anniversary of the founding of the church was celebrated.
