The Filialkirche St. Nikolaus is the Catholic village church of Unteremmendorf in Upper Bavaria .

history

In the Romanesque era, the church was built on two floors in the 12th century; the mundane upper floor above the nave is two meters high and served as a granary for at least a while. The square tower, which is Romanesque to the height of the nave , was raised in 1838; he closes with a brick helmet. An extension on the north and east side of the tower ( sacristy ) dates from 1912. In 1682 a new high altar was erected. The tower and nave have a round arch frieze from 1838.

description

The church has a number of Gothic and Baroque wooden sculptures. The figure of St. Nikolaus at the high altar from was created around 1460; the side figures, St. Sebastian and a St. Bishop, are carved around 1500. The hl. Mary with the baby Jesus on the left side altar is a work of the late 15th century. A saint Andreas was created between 1480 and 1490. St. Peter and St. Thomas are wooden figures around 1500; the St. Catherine and St. Barbara belong to the beginning of the 17th century. The Rosary Madonna above the choir arch is baroque (late 17th century). The Renaissance sacrament house on the left choir wall dates from 1570. A wooden baptismal font is baroque, around 1700; the painted way of the cross on the left nave wall was created around 1760. The rest of the baroque furnishings were removed during a restoration in 1896/97. The branch church was raised to a parish together with Kirchanhausen in 1437. Even today, Unteremmendorf still belongs to Kirchanhausen and is also provided for by the pastor of Beilngries .
