St. Matthäus, Church building in Vach, Germany
The church features sandstone walls, a gabled roof, rectangular eastern choir, polygonal corner towers, and a three-story western tower with a spire.
The first documented mention of St. Matthäus dates back to 1059 when Bishop Gundekar of Eichstätt consecrated the building on Saint Matthew's Day.
The interior contains notable artworks including a 1708 altar with carved crucifixion group, a 1707 pulpit, and a baroque baptismal angel from 1700.
The church maintains regular services, hosts musical performances through multiple choirs, and remains open daily for visitors seeking prayer or reflection.
Four bells reside in the tower, each bearing distinct inscriptions related to biblical passages and religious messages.
