description
The altar painting shows the archangel Michael fighting with the dragon; it comes from 1758 from a "CF" in Neustadt an der Donau . After the secularization in 1803, two farmers saved the church from demolition by buying it. In 1812 the church was repaired and the turret with dome moved from west to east; the bell was cast by Michael Duval in Ingolstadt in 1787 . In 1826 a new way of the cross came into the church, painted "with excellent precision and convenience" by the painter Fröhlich in Vohburg. The altarpiece of St. Leonhard on the right side altar is probably older than the main altarpiece.
