St. Peter and Paul (Oberneuhausen)
The Roman Catholic branch church of St. Peter and Paul in Oberneuhausen , a district of the Weihmichl community in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut , was an originally Romanesque church that underwent radical structural changes in the late Gothic , Baroque and Neo-Gothic periods . Nevertheless, it is registered as a monument with the number D-2-74-187-9 at the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .
history
Located on a slight hill on the upper reaches of the Pfettrach , the oldest parts of the building come from a fortified church from the Romanesque era, which can be seen from the up to 1.45 meter thick masonry of the nave. The late Gothic choir was probably built in the second half of the 15th century and - like many churches in the region - is likely to go back to the Landshut building works. In the baroque period, a flat barrel vault was drawn into the nave ; the window openings were also enlarged. In the 19th century the nave was extended to the west, followed by the regotization of the building. So in 1867 two altars were brought from the parish church of Obersüßbach to Oberneuhausen; however, these were replaced by neo-Gothic altars from the Riesenhuber Art Institute in Munich as early as 1890 .
description
The east-facing hall church comprises a three-bay nave and a drawn-in, two-bay choir room with a three-sided end, reminiscent of the late Gothic Frauenkirche in Altdorf . The nave and choir are united under a common gable roof . The outer walls are structured by mighty buttresses and pointed arched window openings. On the west side of the nave there is a stately vestibule over a rectangular floor plan . The tower and sacristy nestle against the south side of the choir . The distinctive five-storey tower consists of a three-storey, almost square substructure with pointed blind arches and a two-storey octagonal tower that contains the bell cage. The upper end is a neo-Gothic pointed helmet that rises from eight small triangular gables.
While the nave is spanned inside by a baroque flat barrel, the gothic star rib vault has been retained in the choir . The distinctive, asymmetrical, choir arch tapers to a point at the top and is surrounded by stencil paintings, which are based on exposed wall paintings from earlier eras. The three altars of the church are neo-Gothic. The high altar , crowned by three pinnacles, shows figures of the apostles Peter (left) and Paul (right), above a Sacred Heart figure. The side altars are decorated with figures of the Virgin Mary (left) and St. Joseph (right), both of which are kept in Nazarene style. The image of Peter in the rock is also executed in this style. It is also worth mentioning a high-quality carved vestry cabinet in the Rococo style .
