Our Lady (Petzenhausen)
The Catholic branch church of Our Lady in Petzenhausen, a district of Weil in the Upper Bavarian district of Landsberg am Lech , is essentially a Gothic choir tower church , which was redesigned in the Rococo style in the 18th century . The church, surrounded by a walled cemetery, is one of the protected architectural monuments in Bavaria.
history
The church was probably built at the end of the 14th century on the site of previous buildings. In the early 17th century the tower received its octagonal structure in the Renaissance style . In the years after 1737, the late Baroque redesign of the church by the Wessobrunn master builder Franz Schmuzer (1676–1741) took place. After his death, his brother Joseph Schmuzer (1683–1752) took over the management of the construction work and extended the nave to the west in 1747/48.
