history
The first church in Nittendorf was built in the 12th century as a branch church of the parish Deuerling . The parish of Nittendorf was given to the monastery in 1286 by Duke Heinrich . The first permanent pastor of Nittendorf was Father Fridericus Babst , who later became the abbot ofChecking Monastery. In 1492 a Josef Grasser and in 1539 a Wolfgang Schuster were pastors in Nittendorf. At that time, Nittendorf comprised the Etterzhausen, Schönhofen, Bergmatting, Teckelstein, Penk, Arlesberg and Pettendorf branches.
After the Reformation, Nittendorf belonged to the Pfalz-Neuburg and became Protestant under Count Palatine Ottheinrich according to the principle " cuius regio, eius religio ". The first Lutheran pastor was Georg Rittmayr in 1552 and Heinrich Pichler in 1582 . From 1617 the re-Catholicization of the southern Upper Palatinate took place and the Catholic priest Scriba was installed for the places Nittendorf, Bergmatting, Dürnstetten and Reichenstetten. After the Thirty Years' War , Nittendorf was looked after by the convent in 1655 . From 1655 to 1663 Bernardus Dengl was the pastor here, later abbot ofprüfunging († 1693). The last Benedictine priest of the monastery was Paul Anton Keffer , who was then dispensed from his order and installed as secular parish curate in 1806. The parish curate was given to him by King Maximilian Josef of Bavaria .
In 1811 a new parsonage was built by the state. The parish included the places Nittendorf, Schönhofen, Etterzhausen, Pollenried, Reckelstein and Sauberg. In 1847 the Roidl charity foundation was set up in Nittendorf . In addition, there was a Maria-Hilf brotherhood and a third order as a religious association. In 1871 Nittendorf became a parish again. In 1926 Josef Senft worked as a pastor here . He is considered to be the founder of the Catholic young farmers .

The parish church was rebuilt in 1730 by the Examining Monastery. Nothing is known of a previous building, but the tower is probably from an earlier time. In 1877 a sacristy was built.
