history
There was first evidence of a church building in 1315. This noble own church , a hall building , was probably much lower and also smaller than the current building. The four lower floors of the 22 meter high, massive tower have been preserved to this day. The bell storey with two stepped gables was bricked up in 1499.
Ulrich Randeck built the current building in 1499 in the late Gothic style. It is built in brick and plastered white. A steep, uniform gable roof unifies the facility. On the nave, the roof is about half as high as the total height of the building, and above the polygonal end of the choir it is hipped accordingly. The outer walls are structured by triple-stepped buttresses . Originally, the church was accessed through a portal in the southern vestibule, which is now walled up. The new entrance has been in the west wall of the neo-Gothic porch since 1904.
The heavily drawn-in choir of two bays is raised by one step to the single-nave nave with four bays. The triumphal arch is richly profiled. The room is vaulted with a needle cap barrel. The walls are divided by wall pillars, corresponding to the buttresses of the outer walls. The edge fillets merge seamlessly into the shield arches.
Leaded glass window
Leaded glass windows from around 1500 have been preserved in the choir . The apostle Peter is shown on a disk , in front of whom a donor dressed in a choir shirt kneels. On the disk next to it, Mary is shown with the baby Jesus. It stands on the crescent moon and is surrounded by a halo. On another disk you can see St. Nicholas with three golden balls in his hand, below the coat of arms of the Auer von Pullach . In addition, the Bavarian Duke Sigismund kneels in front of his namesake, Saint Sigismund of Burgundy , who can be recognized by his attributes , the imperial orb and the scepter. On two other discs you can see heraldic angels, on the shields the lion and diamonds are depicted. The inscription below names the founder and the year 1499: "Vo (n) gotes genade (n) sigmund Pfaltzg (ra) f pey rein hertzog in ob (e) rn un (d) nider (n) pairn 1499".

Furnishing
Sacrament house
On the north side of the choir is a late Gothic tabernacle almost three meters high . The work, which is no longer completely preserved, was probably created by Ulrich Randeck around 1499 and still has remains of its original polygonal setting. The console is carved with an angel's head and a banner with the words “ecce panis angelorum” (this is the angel's bread). The figure of Christ Salvator stands in the canopy .
Enthroned Mother of God
The enthroned Madonna with baby Jesus in the Marienkapelle, the original southern vestibule, probably comes from the previous church. It is dated around 1440.
Altars
The church houses three early baroque altars by Hans Dengler from Weilheim, he built them from 1614 to 1615. Over the centuries they have been changed several times. In the high altar, the two original church patrons Martin and Nikolaus appear only as marginal figures. In the center of the column structure, a heart-shaped painting of "Most Holy Spouses" shows the figures of Mary, her mother Anna , her husband Joachim, Jesus with his foster father Josef , Elisabeth and Zacharias. The painting is framed by six rectangular pictures with scenes from the New Testament . The Coronation of Mary can be seen above the leaf of the main altar. The figure of Patrona Bavariae stands in a shallow niche in the oversized pull - out , which is higher than the main floor . The altar is crowned by a solar disk with Jesus' monogram.
Peal
The bell was cast in bronze by Rudolf Perner in 1950 . The largest bell is dedicated to St. Martin, it rings with the tone d. The Marienglocke sounds with the tone f and the small death bell with the tone g, it is consecrated to St. Joseph. A fourth bell has been hanging in the tower since 1742, it no longer rings.
Roofing
During the last renovation of the roof, the combined 'old German monk and nun tile Z6' developed by Wilhelm Ludowici at the end of the 19th century was used.
