St. Clemens

St. Clemens stands among dark coniferous forests with three poplar trees surrounding a waycross that leads to a small cemetery with iron crosses.

The stone structure replaced a wooden chapel from the 6th century after the properties were granted to the Benedictine monastery of Weihenstephan in the 11th century.

The church interior contains a high altar with figures created using the kaschiertechnik technique from the 17th century, representing regional craftsmanship.

The church maintains 28 wrought-iron grave crosses from the 18th and 19th centuries within its walled cemetery, which remain under heritage protection.

After the last resident departed in 1884, the surrounding area transformed into a willow plantation that drew international forestry professionals to study cultivation methods.
