St. Martin church

St. Martin is a parish church in Fischbachau with a tower oriented to the east and multiple interior levels. The space is defined by around 73 frescoes that cover the walls and ceilings, giving the rooms their visual character.

The building started as a Benedictine monastery church constructed between 1096 and 1110, founded by Haziga von Diessen. Over centuries it evolved into a parish church, acquiring its baroque elements during later periods.

The frescoes display religious scenes in a baroque style typical of Bavaria, shaping how the interior feels today. These wall paintings tell Christian stories in a way that visitors can directly experience as they walk through the space.

Access is via Kirchplatz 1, where visitors can easily locate the building. Regular services occur throughout the week, so plan for limited opening times outside these scheduled hours.

The organ from 1920, built by Leopold Nenninger, is a functioning instrument with 26 registers and multiple manuals. This instrument significantly contributes to the services and concerts held regularly.
