Building description
It is a late medieval choir tower church , which means that the basement of the tower in the east forms the square choir . There you will find a baroque groin vault , while the nave has a flat roof over a throat. In the west there is a gallery above the portal with the small open vestibule. The choir arch is arched, the windows are segment arched. Above the three-storey substructure of the tower, which is square in plan, stands an octagon, the corner areas of which are only a third of the width of the main areas. This bell storey has a round-arched sound opening on all four main sides and a clock face of the tower clock, which was procured in 1869, in the east and west. On the curved spire there is an open lantern with a Welscher hood , tower ball and patriarchal cross . The sacristy is in the northern corner of the choir; it takes up almost the width of the tower and protrudes far over the north wall. While the Gothic components are made of lime blocks, limestone was used for the new buildings and renovations from the Baroque period.
Furnishing
The four-pillar, early classicistic high altar, created around 1765, is perhaps the work of the Eichstatt court sculptor and master builder Matthias Seybold , who also created the baroque high altar of the Eichstätter cathedral, which is now in the parish church of Deggendorf . The altarpiece, which shows the church patron in front of a crucifix , is a work by a certain Baumann from 1944. The flanking figures represent the diocesan saints Willibald and Wunibald . The classicist side altars from the end of the 18th century come from the former Franciscan monastery in Neuburg and are placed diagonally in the rounded east corners of the nave. The north shows the Immaculate on an oil painting by Chrysostom Wink , flanked by wooden statues of St. Joseph and St. Dominikus , the southern one an oil painting " St. Michael " by Josef Schuster, flanked by wooden statues of St. Francis of Assisi and the church patron. The pulpit from around 1700 probably comes from the earlier church; the four evangelists are painted in the fields of the polygonal corpus . The baptismal font in the form of a chalice on a round pillar was in the 16./17. Century made of limestone. The cheeks , carved around 1760, show chains of flowers.
The Way of the Cross , 14 oil paintings on canvas, is a work from the end of the 18th century. Other oil paintings depict the 12 apostles; they are attached to the gallery parapet and date from the first half of the 18th century.
On wooden figures in the nave are a Madonna from 1460/70, a St. Walburga from the 17th century and on a carrying pole St. Find Sebastian . The crucifix on the south wall of the nave dates from the 1st third of the 16th century.
