The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Ergoldsbach in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut is a central building that dates back to 1729. The church is registered as a monument with the number D-2-74-127-7 at the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation . Until 1860, the apostle Peter was always named as the patron saint of the church ; in 1916, Peter and Paul were mentioned together for the first time in a diocesan register (feast day: June 29).

history

A church in Ergoldsbach must have existed as early as 822, when the place was first mentioned in a document. There is evidence that Bishop Baturich of Regensburg held a conference in the town at that time. In the course of the following centuries Ergoldsbach was raised to a parish - exactly when is unknown. The devastating fire of 1606, in which half the place was reduced to rubble and ashes, did no damage to the parish church. In 1693, however, due to the dilapidation of the old church, a new church was built in the baroque style. The tower was not renewed and should have collapsed in 1698. In 1709 a new tower was built. According to the pastor Sebastian Lang's tradition, this had a clapboard- covered dome on which a lantern was placed. In another market fire in 1726, the still young church and tower were destroyed. Despite existing debts from the church building in 1693, reconstruction could be tackled quickly, as all parishes in the Diocese of Regensburg and in particular the surrounding parishes participated financially. Construction work was finished in 1729 and the high altar was erected in 1733. However, the church did not initially have a tower. This could only be rebuilt in 1750 with a financial contribution from the local imperial postman Franz Niederneder.

During a renovation in 1886 and 1887, the church was extended to the east to include the transept and today's choir . In 1966, under the direction of the Munich architect Friedrich Ferdinand Haindl, large parts of the baroque church furnishings were removed and the few remaining pieces were used to create a modern and simple church interior. In 1979 and 1987 further interior renovations were carried out without major redesign. In 2015 and 2016 the church was renovated outside and inside, and the interior was redesigned according to the plans of the Regensburg architect Michael Feil.

On Palm Sunday, March 20, 2016, the church was reopened after the renovation work.

The parish church is a central building with arched windows and a small roof turret on the crossing . On the west side there is a baroque tower with a four-storey square substructure, a separate upper storey, pointed helmet and lantern. The church building and tower are structured by pilaster strips and plaster bands. The church can be reached via the vestibule on the bottom floor of the tower and an arched portal. The nave with a needle cap barrel comprises four yokes , which are separated by pilasters of the Tuscan order . In the rearmost nave yoke is the two-story gallery , including a modern confessional room. Both wings of the transept and the east-facing choir each encompass a yoke and close on three sides of the octagon. The two-storey sacristy is built on the south side of the choir .

In the place of the high altar removed in 1966 there is only a baroque crucifixion group , which originally formed its center. Since the last renovation, it has been illuminated by stained glass windows by the regional artist Alfred Böschl. The modern people's altar and the ambo were given at the same time a Stipes from Tombak . The side altars with bricked and plastered stipes are located on the north and south sides of the transept. The northern transept with an altarpiece of Mary Immaculate and a Gothic Pietà , while the south transept a place of Marian devotion with an altarpiece of St. Joseph and a modern font a kind Baptistery forms. In the crossing there is a baroque ceiling fresco of the Holy Trinity with a stucco frame ; there are also four baroque figures of saints across the corner. These are Peter (left) and Paul (right) who flank the chancel, as well as the Archangel Michael (left) and Brother Konrad (right) at the corners of the nave.
