The Catholic Church of St. Leonhard is an originally Gothic, Baroque-style hall church in the Reichersdorf district of Irschenberg in the Miesbach district in Upper Bavaria . It belongs to the Weyarn Parish Association in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising . The Leonhardskirche has been the center of a Leonhardi trip that takes place every autumn since 1684 .
History and architecture
The church has been incorporated into Weyarn Monastery since 1373 . The originally late Gothic tuff stone building was given a baroque style in the choir in 1760 and in the nave in 1772 by order of provost Augustin Haml and Rupert Sigl. After a lightning strike, the tower was renewed in 1846. A renovation was carried out around 1857.
The church is a four-bay hall building with a slightly drawn-in choir closed on three sides and a south tower. On the north side of the nave there is an inwardly open oratorio passage from 1765, on the first floor there are arcades open to the outside. The interior is closed off by a barrel vault with stitch caps over pilasters with pilasters .
The choir was richly decorated with rococo stucco by Johann Martin Pichler in 1763, the nave with stucco painting. The ceiling frescoes were executed in 1760 by the Bad Aibling painter Johann Georg Gaill and show St. Leonhard as intercessor and six spandrel paintings on the life of the saint as a preacher, as a prayer, as the patron of the prisoners, the possessed and the poor. In the nave, the frescoes, executed in 1772, show Saints Barbara and Eligius as helpers of the dying, as well as scenes from the life of Saint Barbara as the bride of Christ, on the run, as well as abuse by the father, the demands of Marcianus, flagellation, torture, and their abduction to the place of execution and beheading.
Furnishing
The pulpit and the altar come from the renovation in the Rococo period and were probably created by Joseph Götsch . The figures on the altar are works by Korbinian Niedermeier from 1772 and represent the saints Ottilie , Leonhard, Eligius and Agnes at the feet of the image of the Virgin Mary created by Erasmus Grasser in 1502 .
The left side altar shows on the altarpiece the holy Achatius and figures from the year 1784, the Holy Zacharias and Elisabeth , the altar extract is holy Wendelin shown. The predella has a painting with the saints Franz Xavier , Florian and Sebastian .
The right side altar is on the altar sheet with Saint Barbara, with figures of Saints Joachim and Anna as well as with Saint Notburga in the excerpt and with the representations of Joseph's death, Giuliana Falconieri and Stanislaus Kostka in the predella.
The valuable late Gothic Achatius altar was created around 1506 by Erasmus Grasser with a figure of the enthroned saint surrounded by angels and shows representations from the legend of Achatius on the wings and Saints Peter and Paul on the outside . The two figures of Saints Leonhard and Eligius on wall brackets to the left and right of the altar come from the former late Gothic high altar and were also created by Grasser.
All Saints Chapel
On the occasion of the discovery of a fountain in 1644, the All Saints Chapel was built north of the church by Provost Valentin from Weyarn. The chapel was redesigned in baroque style around 1730/40 and renovated in 1980/82. The building is a central building with an oval floor plan and is closed on the inside with a large domed vault with stitch caps above wall pillars with a profiled cornice. A dome crowns the building on the outside. Ornamental painting was carried out around 1730/40. The altar from the middle of the 17th century shows a painted depiction of All Saints' Day.
