History and architecture
The church in Etting is a Gothic building from 1526, which was vaulted in 1537 and whose tower was completed in 1547. The sacristy was built in 1741, the windows enlarged in 1743 and the interior redesigned in 1762. The exterior was renovated in 1979–1982, and the interior was renovated in 1998. As a result, the furnishings with the high altar, side altars, pulpit and stations of the cross were restored by 2008.
The church is a hall building with a slightly drawn-in, three-sided closed choir and north tower. In the nave, barrel vaults with stitch caps on cornice brackets form the end, in the choir on pilasters . The stucco was done by Benedikt Perghofer in 1710, the stucco in the choir was removed in 1871.
Furnishing
The high altar with a deep light niche was designed in 1755 by Franz Xaver Schmädl and the carpenter Martin Seegmiller from Weilheim and changed in 1762. The sculpture of Saint Michael was created by Schmädl in 1744, the accompanying archangels Gabriel and Raffael and all the small figures at the beginning of the 17th century, as well as the figures of the princes of the apostles .
On the north wall of the choir there is a small sculpture of St. Andrew in a halo, which is labeled BSB ( Bartholomäus Steinle Sculptor) and was probably created around 1608 for the former pulpit of the St. Andreas branch church.
The side altars were created in 1753, partly using older figures by Schmädl and Seegmiller. The left side altar shows side figures of St. Joseph and Joachim , created in 1730 by Martin Dirr, the altar extract is John the Baptist ordered by Schmädl. The right side altar is equipped with side figures of Saints Leonhard and Stephanus , which were designed by Dirr around 1730.
The pulpit is from 1732, the crucifix opposite is from the end of the 17th century. The canvas paintings from 1762 in the lower gallery were supplied by Johann Michael Kaufmann from Munich. The risen Christ from 1726 by Dirr is placed in the southern vestibule.
