St. Joseph, Catholic parish church in Tutzing, Germany
St. Joseph is a Catholic parish church with two prominent towers rising 44 meters high, flanking the choir section of the neo-baroque hall structure. The interior follows a clear layout with side aisles and an extended choir at the eastern end.
Construction of St. Joseph began in 1928 following architect Richard Steidle's plans, after earlier building initiatives had been delayed by post-war inflation. Major renovations took place in 1956, with further upgrades in the 1970s including new heating and electrical systems.
The main altar displays a reproduction of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's Adoration of the Magi, a gift from a local benefactor connected to Tutzing Castle. This artwork shapes the church's interior and ties it to the area's heritage.
Visit with appropriate attire and respect for ongoing services, as this is an active parish church. Check opening hours and service schedules in advance to ensure access during your planned visit.
A baroque statue of the Tutzing Madonna with the Tutzing Christ Child has been displayed on a side altar since 1953, representing local religious devotion. This figure is deeply tied to the community's identity and draws regular visitors interested in local spiritual traditions.
