Mariä Himmelfahrt, Catholic parish church in Schwindkirchen, Dorfen, Germany

Mariä Himmelfahrt is a Catholic parish church in Schwindkirchen, part of Dorfen, built in 1782–83 in a transitional style between late Rococo and early Classicism. The nave has three bays with a mirror vault and Ionic double pilasters; the choir is two bays with a rounded end. The Gothic tower at the northeast corner carries a neo-Gothic spire.

Munich court architect Leonhard Matthäus Gießl directed the construction while preserving the Gothic tower from the previous church. This decision connected new Rococo architecture with older elements of the site.

The ceiling paintings created by Christian Wink in 1784 show biblical scenes, while the high altar by Anton Fackler depicts Mary's Assumption. These artworks shape the interior and tell religious stories for visitors exploring the space.

The church stands on a paved road in Schwindkirchen, a district of Dorfen, with a low white wall and steps at its base. The tower on the northeast corner of the nave carries a neo-Gothic pointed spire. Inside, the three-bay nave with mirror vaulting and the two-bay choir are visible from the central aisle.

The organ's historic case survives from an instrument Anton Bayr transferred here in 1785 from the damaged Elendskirche in Attel am Inn. Max Maerz fitted a new 11-register organ inside it in 1874, and Ludwig Wastlhuber replaced that in 1966 with a 22-register mechanical slider-chest organ, keeping the old casing.
