history

The later parish church of St. Michael, already mentioned as Marienkirche in 1321, served as a Protestant church from 1554 to 1627. After a fire, it was rebuilt from 1612 to 1638. From 1730 to 1738 a new building was built in the late Baroque style according to the design of the architect Johann Innozenz Töpper. The stone carving was done by Johann Georg Höhenstein, the wall paintings by Felix Anton Scheffler in 1735 . The frescoes in the sacristy , in the Weidinger chapel , in the choir and nave were created between 1898 and 1900 by the Frankenstein painter Josef Krachwitz. The main altar with the statues of the four church fathers was created around 1740. The framed altar painting of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a donation of the Leubus abbot Konstantin Beyer. It was painted by Christian Philipp Bentum . The pulpit with its angel-studded lid and statue of St. Barbara was also made around 1740; the way of the cross was created by the Neiss painter Ferdinand Winter in the second half of the 19th century. The patronage stalls come from the 17th century. The painting Christ in Prison was donated by Probst Heinrich Frosius in 1651.
