St. Salvator (Donaustauf)
St. Salvator is a listed Roman Catholic secondary and pilgrimage church at Walhallastraße 10 in the Donaustauf market in the Regensburg district ( Bavaria ).
history
The origin of the pilgrimage is based on a host robbery in 1388 during a siege of the Donaustaufer castle in the city war . Three soldiers stole the containers with the hosts from the church in Sulzbach an der Donau and hid them in the forest near Donaustauf. When the hosts were found again, a chapel was built there. The resulting pilgrimage made it necessary to expand the church several times until it was given its current size in 1607.
architecture
The church, a hall with a retracted choir , eastern sacristy and western tower with a tent roof and vestibule, was built around 1430 in the Gothic style. The choir and nave date from 1607. The sacristy is late Gothic. The staircase is post-medieval. In the 18th century the church was redesigned in Baroque style and in 1843, on behalf of King Ludwig I , Leo von Klenze adapted it to the architectural style of the Walhalla in a new Romanesque style .
Murals
During the interior renovation from 1971–80, wall paintings by an Italian artist from around 1400 were discovered.
