Study Church St. Ursula (Neuburg an der Donau)

The study church of St. Ursula

The Roman Catholic study church St. Ursula in Neuburg an der Donau belongs to the deanery Neuburg-Schrobenhausen of the diocese of Augsburg .

history

In 1696, Elector Johann Wilhelm founded the Ursuline Monastery of St. Maria with the associated St. Ursula Church. The monastery and church were built by the builder Valerian Brenner from 1699 to 1701. The church forms the northeast corner of the square monastery complex and faces south. In the middle of the north facade the tower emerges like a risalit with a high, square substructure, a short octagon and an onion dome. The church is a hall with a retracted, semicircular closed choir .

The monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization in 1813. In 1816, the Neuburg college took over the monastery buildings and the church.

A comprehensive renovation took place in 1989/1990 and an exterior renovation in 2015.

Furnishing

The interior was decorated with stucco by Giovanni Niccolò Perti in 1701 : medallions in the choir and a cartouche with the coat of arms of the donor above the choir arch . The frescoes by Johann Christoph Schalk in the same year created showing in the choir, the Holy Trinity , in the nave of the St. Augustine , St. Ursula and the vision of St. Angela Merici and on the gallery parapet St. Nicholas , St. Angela and St. Thomas of Villanova . The altars and pulpit were created around 1720 by Ehrgott Bernhard Bendl .
