St. Marinus und Anianus, Rococo church in Rott am Inn, Germany
St. Marinus and Anianus is a parish church in Baroque style in Rott am Inn featuring an octagonal floor plan with a flat dome supported by columns. The interior contains side chapels with multiple altars and is distinguished by dome frescoes painted by Matthäus Günther.
Built between 1759 and 1763 by architect Johann Michael Fischer, the church replaced a Romanesque basilica while keeping parts of its earlier walls. This transformation reflected the Baroque era's approach to reshaping older religious structures in Bavaria.
The dome frescoes depict scenes from the lives of Saints Marinus and Anianus, who are venerated in this place. Visitors can observe these religious depictions while walking through the church and understand their significance to the local community.
The church is wheelchair accessible with barrier-free entrances and level ground surrounding the building. Visitors should check opening times in advance since the church remains an active parish and holds regular services during which entry may be limited.
The Salvatorglocke, one of eight bronze bells in the tower, was installed during a major renovation in 2015. This newest bell adds to the site's historic soundscape and shows how Baroque buildings continue to be maintained with modern restoration work.
