St. Sebastian (Burglengenfeld)
The Church of St. Sebastian , also called Sebastianskirche , is a sacred building in the Upper Palatinate town of Burglengenfeld . The church is part of the parish of St. Vitus .
history
The original church was built in 1714 as part of a plague vow by the townspeople of Burglengenfeld and was located in the immediate extension axis of what was then the Naab bridge. In 1898 Burglengenfeld was given a rail link to Haidhof . In the course of the construction of the station, the Sebastianskirche was demolished to enable a direct road connection between Naabbrücke and the station. The church was rebuilt around 60 meters from the original location and consecrated on January 20, 1902.
Architecture and equipment
The church has an octagonal tower that stands on a rectangular tower base. The upper part of the tower is a brick building while the lower part, like the rest of the building, was built with rubble stones. The altarpiece by an unknown artist shows the church patron St. Sebastian and the plague patron St. Rochus . Some furnishings such as the statue of St. Wolfgang, a wooden plaque with the chronicle of the first church, as well as a wooden offering box and a small altar cross are from the original building from 1714.
Bells
The church received the first two bells in 1930. However, due to the war, these had to be given for the purpose of ammunition production. In 1951 St. Sebastian received a bell from Pielenhofen from the workshop in Hamm, Regensburg . She weighs 120 kg and strikes the hour. In 1964 the "Pius Bell" (with a relief image of Pope Pius X) was brought from Kreuzberg to St. Sebastian. It was cast in 1956 by Perner, Passau, and weighs 102 kg. It is now striking the quarter of an hour.
