Mariä Himmelfahrt, Parish church in Niederschönenfeld, Germany.
Mariä Himmelfahrt is a parish church in Niederschönenfeld featuring baroque decoration and a three-aisled interior divided by nine distinct bays with round arches. The space is marked by gilded marble altars, geometric patterns, and large figures throughout.
The church was founded in 1241 and required reconstruction between 1659 and 1662 following destruction during the Thirty Years' War. This rebuilding gave the structure its current baroque appearance and established it as an important religious center in the region.
The interior displays extensive stucco work, including a representation of Mary with angels in the choir area, reflecting the craftsmanship of local artisans. The space continues to serve the faithful for regular worship and preserves this artistic tradition.
The church is open to visitors and offers regular religious services, with times available through the parish or online sources. Plan your visit around these services to experience the space fully.
A Paul Prescher organ from 1683 resides in the building and ranks among Bavaria's earliest musical monuments. This historic instrument has undergone multiple restorations and continues to play an active role in services.
