St. Vitus (Hauzenberg)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Vitus in the town of Hauzenberg in the Passau district in Lower Bavaria is a listed building .
After a long decision-making process starting in 1959, the three-aisled nave with numerous pillars and an unsuitable gallery, which was only consecrated in 1851 and built in neo-Gothic style, was demolished. The choir from the 1st half of the 15th century and the church tower have been preserved. In between, a new, modern hall room with a size of 30 × 30 m with around 800 seats was built according to the plans of architect Hans Beckers . On October 15, 1972, the church was consecrated anew by the diocesan bishop Antonius Hofmann , who was chaplain there from 1938 to 1940.
In the late Gothic choir there is the late Gothic Freudensee winged altar from the workshop of Rueland Frueauf the Elder from the end of the 15th century, which was transferred here from the chapel of Freudensee Castle .
Five seating areas are arranged around the central folk altar . The choir is used as a weekday chapel.
