St. Ulrich, Baroque church in Memmingen, Germany.

St. Ulrich is a Baroque aisleless church completed in 1755 in Amendingen, north of Memmingen. Its interior has a gold-framed high altar with a central painted image, flanked by dark columns and statues, and matching side altars with dark red drapery. The light-colored ceiling carries painted decoration, and the church is oriented north rather than east.

A first church stood here around 800; the parish was documented in 1341, when the Bishop of Augsburg incorporated it into Rot an der Rot Abbey. The tower collapsed in 1655, and after a makeshift church was consecrated in 1661, the present building was begun on 11 April 1752 and consecrated on 12 October 1755, financed by Buxheim Charterhouse. The architect was probably Jakob Jehle of Obenhausen.

The patron is Bishop Ulrich of Augsburg, whose feast day is celebrated on 4 July. A 1575 visitation report records sculptures of Ulrich, the Mother of God and St Catherine on the earlier high altar. The church is a stop on the Upper Swabian Baroque Route.

Visitors can enter the church during daytime hours to explore the interior and examine the architectural details up close. It is helpful to check ahead if religious services or events are scheduled, as these may affect visitor access.

Because the steep eastern slope and the narrow plot left no room, the church was built facing north instead of the customary east — one of the few churches in the region to depart from that orientation. The lower storey of the medieval tower and the old foundations were reused in the 1752 new build.
