History and architecture
The parish Hohenegglkofen is one of the earliest parish seats in a wide area, it was the baptismal church of Landshut before the city was founded. The late Gothic brick building from the 15th century is designed as a wall pillar church with ribbed vaults and was extended by a north aisle in the first half of the 18th century using the Magdalen Chapel and the ossuary . The exterior is designed with a surrounding base and roof frieze. The Gothic components are provided with triangular struts and isolated buttresses. The tower is built on the north side of the choir and has four floors, the middle of which are covered with pointed arches. The former portal vestibule is located on the south side of the nave. The interior of the four-bay ship is steeply proportioned. The three-bay choir ends in a three-eighth closure . The choir arch has bevelled edges and is fluted in the arch on the side facing the nave. The wall pillars are chamfered. Rib vaults with star figures complete the room. They are in the ship carried on partly with shields collected provided round brackets, in the choir by semicircular services . The windows, decorated with renewed tracery , have two lanes.
Furnishing
The stately baroque high altar was created around 1680, is decorated with carved figures of Saints Martin and Florian and shows the baptism of Christ on the altar sheet . The other Rococo furnishings, created between 1760 and 1770, are of remarkable quality. The tabernacle of the high altar with side worshiping angels was probably created in 1766 by Christian Jorhan the Elder . The side altars were made by Johann Bernhard from Geisenhausen and are decorated with paintings with the death of St. Joseph and the fourteen helpers in need by Ignaz Kaufmann from Teisbach from 1764. On the north altar is a late Gothic seated figure of Mary with the child from the end of the 15th century. The organ is a work by Anton Škrabl from 1997 with 12 stops on two manuals and a pedal in one case from 1876.
