The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael is today's main church in Kirchanschöring . Until it was raised to its own parish in 1922, St. Michael, like the St. Giles Church of Kirchstein, was a branch church of the parish of St. Johann Baptist von Petting .
history
Even before 1335 there was a St. Michael's Church on site , which the Archbishop of Salzburg transferred to the Augustinian Canons of St. Zeno von Reichenhall for pastoral care. Because of the great distance to the parish church in Petting, a cemetery was built here early on. In the first half of the 15th century a new church was built, of which the church tower has still been preserved. When the border was drawn in 1816, this originally Salzburg region came to the Kingdom of Bavaria and in 1821 to the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising .
A legacy from the local J. Georg Hofer (1813–1871) created the financial prerequisites for partially rebuilding the church, which was necessary because of the increase in population. Between 1881 and 1885, the new building was created according to the plans of Munich's senior building officer Friedrich Reuter , while retaining the late Gothic west tower. This tower is made of tuff with a base, four storeys, a trapezoidal end and a pointed roof. A neo-Romanesque nave with a choir and an apse adjoins this. The outer walls are structured by pilaster strips and have a round arch frieze on the eaves and the gables. On the east side there is a fresco of the church patron St. Michael by Georg Gschwendner (1904–1991) in a niche . A two-storey sacristy is built on the south side .
The new church was consecrated on June 18, 1885 by Archbishop Anton von Steichele . 1914 Georg Rinser, previously Kooperator Petting Expositus in Kirchanschöring and 1922, the first minister in the newly formed parish. During the First World War, two bells had to be handed in, which were replaced by a Michaeli and a Floriani bell in 1923. In 1942 two bells were dismantled again to be melted down, in 1949 the ringing was supplemented by a Mother of God, Sacred Heart and Michael Bell (tones f, a flat, b), the old Sebastiani bell sounds with the tone c.
In front of the parish hall is the so-called "diocese stone" with the symbols of the diocesan saint Rupert with the salt barrel of Salzburg and St. Korbinian with the bear for Munich-Freising. The memorial was created by Dieter Schmidt from Fridolfing from a granite boulder.

Interior
The foundation of the high altar comes from the parish church of St. Nikolaus von Rosenheim . This altar, which was transferred here in 1881, was originally created in 1794 by the Munich master stonemason Michael Matheo. The structure consists of a St. Sebastian altar on the epistle side and a Mary altar on the Gospel side . The red marble door walls of the vestry entrance and the wall niche opposite also come from Rosenheim.
During the church renovation in 1954, parts of the earlier furnishings (superstructures of the high and side altars, glass paintings in the long pile windows, wall paintings in the choir arch, carved frames of the Stations of the Cross and other figures from the 19th century) were removed. The apse, choir wall and nave were decorated with paintings by Georg Gschwendner. Christ is represented in a mandorla with the symbols of the evangelists and above a dove of the Holy Spirit. In the lower part of the picture, the Last Judgment is shown with the Archangel Michael as the "soul weigher". The mural continues in the upper part. The 14 Stations of the Cross , also by Georg Gschwendner, are combined into five picture sequences. Instead of side altars, the figure “Maria with the Child” by Georg Winkler from the 20th century is on the right and Saint Sebastian, made by Simon Högner (around 1690), on the left. The oldest part of the church is an octagonal baptismal font made of Adnet marble , which was created around 1500. A figure of Saint Michael with the dragon is on the south wall of the nave; It was designed by the South Tyrolean Meinrad Stufflesser (1988).
The flat church ceiling rests on corbels , the sides of the wooden ceiling are coffered. On the west side is a double gallery that rests on marble columns and pilasters on the side . The organ was created in 1995 by the Vorarlberg company Rieger Orgelbau and inaugurated in 1996 by Pastor Christoph Kronast.
