Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Frauenau

The Church of the Assumption is a parish church built in rococo style with carved decorations and religious artwork throughout its interior spaces. A western extension was added in 1927, and the building sits within grounds that include a mortuary hall and cemetery walls.

The original Gothic building was completed in 1396 by Hans Krumenauer, a builder who also worked on Passau Cathedral. The present structure was rebuilt between 1759 and 1767 in a baroque style to replace the earlier medieval church.

The figure of the Virgin Mary inside draws visitors who come to understand why this place held such spiritual importance for pilgrims over several centuries. Today the church remains a center where local faith and regional religious traditions continue to be observed.

The church is located on Kirchweg Street in Frauenau and welcomes visitors interested in exploring religious spaces. The building sits in a central location within the town and can be reached easily on foot with room to walk around the exterior grounds.

Saint Hermann of Niederaltaich lived as a hermit in a monastic cell near the present church location from 1324 to 1326. This early monastic presence demonstrates how the site held spiritual importance long before the current building was constructed.
