history
On July 18, 1182, the Regensburg Bishop Konrad II von Raitenbuch consecrated the church, which had been built shortly before on the slope, in the name of Saints Michael and Aegidius. Renovations took place in the 17th century. So changes were made to some windows in the baroque period. The church was renovated in 2007.
Buildings and equipment
The church is a rectangular Romanesque hall building with a gable roof, retracted apse and turret with onion dome from before 1182. A modified altar from the 16th century was used for the main altar . The altars are columned retables in the style of the 17th century. The late Gothic pulpit dates from the 15th century. In the church is the original miraculous image of the Virgin Mary from the pilgrimage church Maria Tannerl, a field chapel near Rehtal, northeast of Kager.
