St. Matthäus

St. Matthäus church features original ceiling paintings, wall surfaces, and stucco work that have remained untouched since their creation in the eighteenth century.

Constructed between 1771 and 1780, St. Matthäus represents the final major monastic church construction project completed in Lower Bavaria during that period.

The church displays artistic works by Joseph Schöpf who created ceiling frescoes, while Joseph Deutschmann produced altar and pulpit sculptures for the interior.

The restoration project, initiated in 2015 with a budget of 5.8 million euros, continues to preserve the church's original features through careful steam cleaning methods.

Unlike other regional churches, St. Matthäus retains the original brush strokes from the 18th century on its ceiling paintings and substantial wall sections.
