Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt, Parish church in Schongau, Germany.

The Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt features an octagonal tower with a dome and combines Gothic and Baroque architectural elements throughout its structure.

First mentioned in records from 1253, the church underwent major reconstruction between 1751 and 1753 under the direction of Munich court architect Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer.

The ceiling paintings by Matthäus Günther display religious scenes, including the coronation of Mary and representations of biblical figures like Esther before Ahasuerus.

Located at Marienplatz 23 in Schongau, the church maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and artistic elements.

The choir features a remarkable 1748 painting depicting the Holy Spirit in human form, created shortly after Pope Benedict XIV prohibited such representations in 1745.
