St. Leonhard in the back light

The St. Leonhard branch church in the Jägersdorf district of Wolfersdorf in the Freising district is a late baroque hall building with a retracted apse , choir flank tower with onion dome and attached sacristy, built in 1717. It is a protected monument and in the list of architectural monuments in Wolfersdorf with the number D -1-78-156-8 recorded.

history

The old church building in Jägersdorf, which was built around 1300, partially collapsed at the beginning of the 18th century due to dilapidation, so it was decided to rebuild the church. The orders for this were given to master bricklayer Gregor Wagner from Moosburg and master carpenter Thomas Mayr from Hartshausen. The church was completed in 1717, which is documented by an inscription on the tower and inside next to the main entrance.

The tower is typical of the Baroque period and the Hallertau landscape in which it stands. On the lower floors it is square in cross-section and divided on the outside by glare fields; at the top it is octagonal and ends in an onion dome.

Furnishing

The choir vault inside is decorated with vegetable stucco, which is attributed to Nikolaus Liechtenfurtner . The choir has an apsidal end and ends at the top in a shell.

The high altar from 1717 has an altar panel with Our Lady and St. Leonhard, which is called " P. Krippner 1908 "; the upper picture shows St. Joseph, the small side figures represent St. Korbinian and an unknown St. Bishop.

The side altars show the so-called plait style of their time of origin (1789/90). Both have new altar leaves. The north altar has a sculpture of St. Vitus and an upper image that depicts St. Aloisius shows. The southern retable has a sculpture of St. Laurentius and an upper picture with St. Ignatius.

There is a 17th century Madonna enthroned at the tabernacle. In the nave hangs our Lady in a rosary under a cross (17th century). There are other sculptures on the walls of the nave, St. Sebastian (probably 17th century), St. Leonhard and St. Stephen (both 18th century).

The gallery with the small organ

In the organ gallery there is a small organ that can be moved on rollers and is supplied with air by bellows that are operated by hand. It is a gem from around 1700. It can be assumed that Jägersdorf, with its only 20 courtyards and a little more than 100 residents, could never afford a large church organ.
