St. Aegidius
St. Aegidius stands in Germany as a neo-Gothic church built from sturdy squared stone. Theodor von Landauer designed the building in 1851 and 1852. Its long nave leads towards an eastern choir with three sides and strong supporting buttresses. A three-storey tower rises beside the choir on the north side.
The tower once belonged to a fortified church before receiving its pyramid roof in 1780. Its upper level contains a clock and bells that mark the rhythm of community life. Between the western buttresses, the portal opens onto a flat-ceilinged nave and a choir covered by a cross-ribbed vault. Wilhelm Geyer’s postwar stained-glass windows bring colour into the interior.
A gallery holds an organ awaiting restoration, alongside painted details that frame the music space. The furnishings include a crucifixion group, a Madonna on a crescent moon and a Pietà. Together, these elements connect worship, music and the building’s earlier defensive role.
