The parish church of St. Margaretha in Frasdorf belongs to the parish association of the Upper Priental of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising . It stands in the center of the village and is surrounded by a cemetery with a chapel on the south side.

history

The current church was built in the late Gothic period and rebuilt or rebuilt in several construction phases. The nave and choir were built around 1496. The vaults go back to the construction period 1509/11. The church was consecrated on April 5, 1513 by the Bishop of Chiemsee, Bertold Pürstinger. The Gothic pointed arches were changed to round arches in 1676/78.

In 1807 the sacristy was increased and the new upper floor set up as an oratory.

The four new bells donated in 1903 were melted down in 1917 during the First World War . In 1921 the parish donated new bells, which were melted down to the smallest detail during World War II in 1942. In 1949 a complete bell ensemble was purchased again.

Building

The tower from 1764/65 has an octagonal pointed spire with pointed gables and ends with a gilded tower cross. The kite-head-shaped gargoyles indicate St. Margaretha. The tower is decorated with a sundial with the brotherhood picture Mother of Beautiful Love .

In 1934/36 the church was extended by one yoke to the west. During the subsequent interior restoration, the old vault paintings were discovered and the ceiling paintings from 1761 (Joseph Anton Höttinger, painter in Rosenheim) that had been painted over in 1864 and 1912 were exposed. The "expenses incurred during this process were voluntarily disputed by Georg Paur, lordship preamble to Hohenaschau, and some contribution was made to that of Michl Ebersperger, Stein zu Günerting". Georg Paur was born in Frasdorf, son of Petermesner. Höttinger painted a large ceiling painting in the presbytery and in the nave and framed them with stucco paintings and cartouche frescoes on the sides. In the choir are St. Margaretha with her pagan father in front of the governor of Antioch, in the nave the consecration of the hearts of the members of the Marian Brotherhood to the brotherhood image Mother of Beautiful Love carried by angels is shown.

On the south side of the choir, a shoulder portal with an iron-studded door leaf leads into the sacristy .

In 1978 the church roof, masonry and foundations were restored. A valuable Gothic frieze from the time the church was built was discovered.

Facility

The high altar

The painting of the high altar created by Jacob Carnutsch in 1683 shows St. Margarethe. Assistant figures are on the left of St. Korbinian , on the right St. Blasius . The top picture shows John the Baptist. The altarpiece on the left side altar, the "Brotherhood Altar" shows the Mother of Beautiful Love (around 1761). The right side altar, the Joseph altar, comes from the same period. The classical pulpit dates from 1724; the previous one came to Höhenberg. Figures of the evangelists can be seen on the parapet of the basket , on the underside of the sound cover the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove; the painting on the back wall shows Jesus the good shepherd . The simple baptismal font with neo-Gothic wooden lid and baptismal font is from 1869.

Other furnishings include a crucifix with a Mater dolorosa on the southern wall of the choir, relief-carved, colored Stations of the Cross, console figures and votive pictures.

The folk altar, ambo and Easter candlestick were made in 1984/86 by the Frasdorf sculptor Josef Hamberger from bronze.

The current organ was bought in 1923.

Cemetery chapel

Interior view of the cemetery chapel

The cemetery chapel in honor of Saints Sebastian and Barbara was built in 1610. The upper floor of the late Gothic two-storey building with a tent roof and ribbed vault served as a grain box for the tithe. In 1700 the chapel was restored and "5 Fuder" bones were removed.

On the east side there is a war memorial of the First and Second World Wars. On the north side there is a commemorative plaque of the Frasdorf fallen in the war of 1870/71 as well as epitaphs from the 19th century.
