St. Cosmas- und Damian-Kirche Liggersdorf

St. Cosmas- und Damian-Kirche Liggersdorf, Roman Catholic parish church in Hohenfels, Germany

Description

St. Cosmas and Damian Church in Liggersdorf is a parish church with a three-sided choir and a tower from the 15th century on its eastern side. The interior features ceiling frescoes from 1763 painted by artist Franz Josef Zürcher.

History

The location was first mentioned in 1275, but the church's dedication to Saints Cosmas and Damian came later in 1579. This choice reflected the religious significance these saints held for the parish community.

Culture

The ceiling paintings show Saints Cosmas and Damian, protectors of physicians and pharmacists, alongside symbols of faith woven throughout the interior. These depictions shaped the spiritual identity of the community and reflect the local devotion to these two saints.

Practical

Visitors can explore the interior at their own pace and admire the ceiling artwork in quiet surroundings. It is best to move respectfully through the church and check service times to avoid disturbing those at prayer.

Did you know?

The high altar from 1727 spans the entire height and width of the choir, displaying heraldic symbols of Landkomtur F.J.A. von Reischach. This elaborate design reveals the close ties between the church and local nobility of that period.
