St. Philip and James (Hangenham)
The Church of St. Philip and James is the Roman Catholic village church in the Marzlinger district of Hangenham in Upper Bavaria . It stands on the edge of the slope facing the Isar .
The building is one of the oldest churches in the Freising district . It was built as a brick building in the 13th century and changed little in the following centuries. The arched window in the east wall of the choir is largely in its original state. The choir has a Romanesque ribbed vault . In the nave, the windows with pointed arches were changed, and in 1713 a sacristy was added to the south side of the church .
The interior of the church is late Gothic and Baroque. The Way of the Cross is attributed to the Freising court painter Johann Baptist Deyrer .
During a renovation in 1974, frescoes were discovered and exposed on the choir wall, which presumably date from the time the church was built. The images are interpreted as a monk with a host who performs the change at Mass , as the Mother of God with the baby Jesus and as the resurrection of Jesus . A series of images shows Saint Elizabeth with her husband and nursing the sick.
