Kirche Maria Roggendorf is a Baroque church building in Wullersdorf featuring ornate interior decoration and religious artwork. Its focal point is the high altar created by Andreas Rudroff, crowned by a Byzantine-style painting of Mary set within an elaborate Baroque frame.
Construction of the church took place between 1651 and 1653 under architect Cypriano Biasino. A major fire in 1695 caused significant destruction, prompting a major rebuilding effort led by Carlo Antonio Carlone.
