St. Vitus (Erling)
The Catholic parish church of St. Vitus in Erling , a district of the Andechs community in the Upper Bavarian district of Starnberg , is a late medieval building. The late Gothic church at Besengaßl 2, in a central location in the village, is a protected architectural monument .
description
The hall building on three axes with a strongly drawn-in choir and a three-sided end was baroque in 1681 .
The vault was painted during the interior restoration in 1961 by the Pfaffenhofen church painter Michael P. Weingartner (1917-1996). The fresco shows the assumption of St. Vitus into heaven, the village of Erling and the Andechs monastery .
The two former altar figures of St. Modestus and St. Creszentia on the north and south walls of the nave were made by Franz Xaver Schmädl .
The seated figure of St. Vitus, formerly in the high altar and now in a niche in the southern arch, is the work of an unknown late Gothic carver (around 1480). The enthroned Mother of God in front of the left choir arch is dated around 1510.
