The Catholic parish church of St. Stephan in Deisenhausen , a community in the district of Günzburg in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia , was built in 1766/67. The church at Krumbacher Straße 2, in the middle of the cemetery, is a protected architectural monument .

The baroque church was built according to plans by Joseph Dossenberger the Younger . The substructure of the tower still comes from the previous Gothic building . At the nave is an almost equally wide, includes korbbogig closing chorus on. The tower with a Welschen dome stands on the north wall to which a magnificent pulpit is attached.

The ceiling paintings were carried out by Johann Baptist Enderle . In the nave, St. Stephen is depicted during his defense speech before the council and his martyrdom in the choir. The stucco work is attributed to the Hölzle brothers from Kemnat .

In 1823 the original high altar was replaced by the rococo altar from the former pilgrimage church of the Sacrifice of the Virgin Mary , which was demolished in 1821, in Baumgärtle , a district of Breitenbrunn .
