St. Martin in Heretsried

The Catholic parish church of St. Martin in Heretsried , a municipality in the Swabian district of Augsburg in Bavaria , was built in 1722 and is registered as a monument in the Bavarian list of monuments.

history

A previous church was incorporated into the Holzen Monastery in 1242 by the Augsburg Bishop Siboto . The church was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and rebuilt in 1636. Due to the dilapidation of the old church, Abbot Maria Anna Scholastika Franciotti had a new church built in place of the old one in 1722 with the permission of the Augsburg Bishop Alexander Sigismund. The builder Hans Georg Radmiller von Hahnenweiler was commissioned with the new building . The construction costs amounted to 1120 florins. The hall building has a retracted choir and a tower with an onion dome on the west side. Since 2009 the parish has formed a parish community with St. Vitus in Lauterbrunn and St. Martin in Emersacker .
