The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul is a baroque hall church with a late Gothic tower in Eching am Ammersee , a district of the municipality of the same name in the Upper Bavarian district of Landsberg am Lech . It belongs to the parish of Greifenberg in the diocese of Augsburg .

History and architecture

After a previous building was destroyed, presumably as a result of the Thirty Years War and the War of the Spanish Succession , the church in Eching was built in 1766 by the Munich court architect Leonhard Matthäus Gießl and his parlier Ignaz Prechler from a legacy of Pastor Johann Jakob Schorer using parts of the old building. A restoration took place in 1990. The 250th anniversary was celebrated in 2017.

The church is a hall building with a semicircular choir and a late Gothic west tower with a Welscher dome . The interior is covered by a barrel vault with stitch caps over Tuscan pilasters , the eastern corners are rounded. The ceiling paintings were created by Christian Wink in 1770 and are labeled “Aulae Boj. Pictor “(Bavarian court painter ). They show the handing over of the keys to St. Peter , the martyrdom of the titular saints in the nave and the conversion of St. Paul above the organ . The picture fields are surrounded by rich stucco paintings .

Furnishing

The high altar and the pulpit were made by Joseph Gruber from Unterschondorf in 1771/73 . The high altar sheet with the farewell of the princes of the apostles and the right altarpiece with a depiction of St. Andrew were also created by Christian Wink in 1770 and 1774 respectively. The painting of the north side altar is a work from 1776 by Sebastian Troger from Weilheim and shows the ecstasy of St. Anthony of Padua .

The apostle figures are early works by Johann Luidl from around 1725. A marble epitaph for the founder Pastor Schorer was created in 1767 by Johann Baptist Straub . The organ is a new build by Rudolf Kubak with 12 registers on two manuals and a pedal in a prospectus from 1782.
