Church of the Assumption, Gothic church in Haag in Oberbayern, Germany

The Church of the Assumption is a white-walled parish church in Haag in Oberbayern, built in 1584–1588 as a late-Gothic hospital church with wall piers already showing Baroque traits. Its tower, completed in 1594, carries a tall dark pointed spire with a cross, arched louvered openings and round clock faces. The nave is narrow; a strongly recessed chancel arch separates the neo-Gothic front section and side chapels from the rear masonry of the original late-Gothic church.

Built between 1584 and 1588 as the hospital church of the Heilig-Geist-Spital, the church was completed with its tower in 1594. A fire on 14 July 1849 destroyed the interior and left only the masonry; the rebuilding until 1853 added a new eastern extension and neo-Gothic furnishings. Haag became an independent parish on 20 November 1808, with Vinzenz Stichaner, a Benedictine from Andechs, as first parish priest.

The patronal feast is the Assumption of Mary, celebrated as the parish's high feast. The church began as a Holy Spirit hospital church, founded in 1584 under the testament of Countess Kunigunde, and a benefice for hospital and church followed in 1715. In the north side chapel the Ölberg figures are kept; they survived the 1849 fire in a grotto on the outer wall, and the chapel is rearranged several times during the church year.

The church sits at Kirchplatz in the town center and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should check opening hours beforehand, as entry is only available during designated times.

The church began as a hospital church in the late Gothic style, and its rear nave walls still date from that phase, while the front section and side chapels were rebuilt in neo-Gothic style after the 1849 fire. The pulpit was removed between 1953 and 1977 during the liturgical reforms.
