St. Ulrich
St. Ulrich stands on a hill in Altdorf, the northern part of Amendingen in Memmingen, Germany. The Baroque church forms part of the Upper Swabian Baroque Route and faces north because the site constrained its orientation.
Construction received approval in 1752 and finished in 1755, using foundations and substructures from the earlier church. A parish existed here by 1341, while local Christian worship reaches back to Frankish times around 800. Inside, three altars, a pulpit influenced by Gabriel Weiß the Elder and Anton Sturm, and frescoes by Josef Albrecht shape the space.
A retaining wall surrounds the church, joining the churchyard wall on its western and southern sides. To the west, an old mortuary now serves as a chapel, while an Upper Swabian farm remains to the east.
