The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael is a baroque hall church in Inzell in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein . It belongs to the parish of St. Michael Inzell in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .

History and architecture

The village of Inzell was first mentioned in a document in 959 and a church consecration in 1190. The church of St. Michael Inzell was rebuilt as a baroque hall by the Salzburg court architect Tobias Kendler after a fire in the years 1725–1727, including the preserved late Gothic church tower. A renovation took place outside in 1952 and inside 1985 after the first version.

The church is a spacious hall with five axes and a large semicircular apse , the west tower with a double onion hood and a two-story sacristy in the apex of the choir. The structure of the room is determined by pilasters on which a needle cap barrel with light foliage and banding stucco rests. This was probably created in 1727 by Johann Michael Vierthaler from Mauerkirchen in the Innviertel. A double gallery is built into the west.

Furnishing

The largely uniform furnishings were created around 1770. The high altar shows a painting of the Annunciation , which is flanked by carved figures of Saints Martin and Sebastian . In Altar extract is an image of the Trinity to be seen. The tabernacle is a work from 1840.

The altar leaves of the side altars represent the apparition of Our Lady before Saints Augustine and Cajetan on the north side and Saint George on the south side. Two wooden statues flank the side altars: on the north side John the Evangelist and John the Baptist , on the south side the saints Leonhard and Antonius of Padua . In front of the triumphal arch a lively composed mercy seat with angels can be seen, to the side of it the corresponding figures of the Sorrowful Mother and John from the time around 1730, possibly by the sculptor Johannes Schwaiger from Reichenhall.

The panel painting on the west wall is probably the predella of an altar from the previous building, was probably created in Salzburg around 1490 and shows the handkerchief of St. Veronica . The organ is a work by Metzler Orgelbau from 1997 with 25 stops on two manuals and a pedal .

Finally, several tombstones from the 16th to 18th centuries should be mentioned.
