Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt is a parish church in Chammünster featuring a three-nave hall structure with two towers. The building stretches approximately 46 meters in length and about 21 meters in width.
History
The origins of this church date to 739, when Duke Odilo of Bavaria donated land to the St. Emmeram monastery in Regensburg. From this early foundation, the religious site that stands in Chammünster today eventually developed.
