The Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Corona is St. Corona consecrated. It is located in the Staudach district of the Lower Bavarian community of Massing (Staudach 4).
history
The name Studache (= Staudach) means something like the bushes . Two documents from the Baumburg monastery from 1150 and 1165 prove that the monastery in Studache and Engelboltskirchen owned it , d. H. the area around Staudach has been populated since the middle of the 12th century. Goods in Studache and Ellingen (near Staudach) are also mentioned in documents from Ranshofen Monastery from 1190 . In a list of the estates of Landshut from 1347 to 1392, the knight Albrecht von Staudach is named.
It is not known whether this or his family built the church in Staudach. The veneration of St. Corona reached a peak in Austria and Eastern Bavaria in the 15th century ; this may have been the reason for the construction of this church between 1481 and 1488. A pastor named Furtner from Taufkirchen founded on February 3, 1510 an “eternal and daily mass” for this church. In addition, a benefit was donated to the church in 1696 .

Building description
The church is a late Gothic bare brick building with a three-aisled nave and a west tower. The choir is drawn in to the width of the central nave and is united with the hall longhouse under one roof. The outer walls of the choir are structured by buttresses with angular center pieces. The choir has a single nave and comprises two bays ; it closes with three octagonal sides. Late Gothic wall paintings were discovered in the arches of the choir.
In the west, a four-story tower with a gable roof rises in the central axis of the nave . The entrances on the north and south sides lead into a vaulted hall. The three upper floors are structured with cornices . The floors are provided with pointed arches on all sides .
The strongly profiled church portal is located in the middle church yoke on the north side. This portal, made of stone, is framed by a cranked niche. A quartz stone band runs around the whole church. The west wall is equipped with a stepped gable .
The three-aisled nave has only three bays and is wider than it is deep. Sturdy round pillars, from which arcade beams grow, support the vault . The original Gothic church windows were changed in the Baroque period and in the late 19th century.
