The Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Jodok in Haunswies , a district of the Affing community in the Swabian district of Aichach-Friedberg , was built around 1680. The church on the road to Igenhausen is a protected monument .

"S. Jobst" near Haunswies is already noted on a map from 1568. Presumably there was a pilgrim hostel here before the Thirty Years War . The flat-roofed hall building with a choir closed on three sides was expanded in 1730 and 1963. The tower in the east is covered by an onion dome. In 1689 a sacristy was added. In 1963 the attached sacristan's house was demolished and the chapel was extended by two meters.

The frescoes from 1793 are attributed to Johann Baptist Anwander : Adoration of St. Jodok , Christ appears to St. Jodok as a beggar who shares the bread with him. The high altar was built in 1739/40 and the side altars were probably created later. In 1972 all the figures, the altarpieces and parts of the altar structure were stolen from the church. The figures from the 17th century were depictions of Saints Jodok, Klara , Franziskus , Ottilie and a Patrona Bavariae as well as two candlestick angels. The new altarpieces from 1996 are by Eva Schickinger from Augsburg and show St. Jodokus in the high altar, the victory of St. Ulrich in 955 on the Lechfeld in the right side altar and the Annunciation to the left.
