Mariä Himmelfahrt is a roman-catholic church in Freyung.

History

The original church was destroyed in a massive fire and had to be replaced through a new church, which is the one today. It was constructed in 1877 by the plans of architect Tanera and inaugurated by bishop of Passau.

Building

The new building was inspired by the late Gothic architecture of eastern Bavaria. The facade design is simple. The neo-Gothic winged altar is striking in the single-aisled nave. The building is 47 m long and 16 m wide, the interior is 14 m high, and the church tower measures 56 m.

Bells

In 1949, the Perner company cast four new bells made out of bronze.

Surroundings

The church is in the center of Freyung, next to it is a restaurant called Veicht, a fountain with a statue of Mary and a memorial dedicated to Maximilian Schmidt.
