The Roman Catholic branch church of Our Lady (also: Marienkirche ) is a Gothic hall church in the Feldkirchen district of Rott am Inn in the Rosenheim district in Upper Bavaria . It belongs to the parish association Rott am Inn in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .

History and architecture

The church was first mentioned in 1298. The former Marien-pilgrimage church of Our Lady belonged to the property of the Rott monastery and was given its present appearance by its abbot Benedict I in the 16th century. The church not far from the Inn was for a long time the seat of a boatmen's brotherhood. The choir and the tower probably date from the 13th century up to half their height. The choir vault, the nave and the pointed spire of the tower were built at the beginning of the 16th century. To the west is a pent roof vestibule, which was raised at the end of the 17th century. A restoration was carried out between 1984 and 1987.

The church is a hall with four bays; the retracted choir, shifted in the axis, ends in a three-sided conclusion. The tower in the north is finished with a pointed helmet. The choir is divided on the outside by narrow columns with cube capitals and above with a throat. A fan-like network vault over wall pillars with pointed end faces and a console cornice completes the interior. The stucco with egg bars , garlands, festoons , vases and winged angel heads was created around 1630. Numerous emblematic stucco reliefs, including pictures from the Lauretan Litany , are among the latest works by the bricklayers and plasterers from Schliersee .

Furnishing

The high altar, dating from around 1700, is decorated with an Enthroned Mother of God from around 1500, surrounded by Saints John the Baptist and John Evangelista . The extract shows a picture of God the Father . The side altars date from the high baroque period. Two paintings with depictions of the Annunciation and the Visitation of the Virgin Mary are set into the wall in the choir room .

Above the sacristy door , in a Renaissance niche with a shell vault, there is a panel painting with Mary in the ear of ears from 1550. A carved confessional from the mid-18th century is set up behind the high altar . A wooden figure of Anna herself from around 1500 with inscription painting from the 16th century should also be mentioned. A commemorative plaque from 1489 can be found in the vestibule.

The cemetery portal is decorated with terracotta reliefs from the middle of the 16th century, which depict the Annunciation and the Assumption of the Virgin and are attributed to the Wasserburg master stoner Michael Kreßlin and which were restored in 1989. The organ is a work by Jacob Müller from Rosenheim from around 1810 with nine stops on a manual and pedal .
