Churches and architectural history in Aindling
The parish and St. Martin’s Church in Aindling are first documented in 1033. The church was originally Romanesque and later Gothicized, before being given a Baroque makeover in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1895, the decision was made to build a new church in the Neo-Gothic style; it was completed in 1901. This sequence brings several historical building phases into focus and offers a different perspective on Aindling from the Generations Park.
Pichl and Eisingersdorf also contribute to the local church history. The parish church in Pichl was built in the Gothic style in 1585. Pichl was incorporated into the main town of Aindling between 1972 and 1975. The church in Eisingersdorf is considered a noteworthy gem of ecclesiastical architecture. Eisingersdorf belonged to the formerly independent municipality of Pichl, which was incorporated into Aindling. Together, these churches offer different historical points of interest, while St. Martin’s has a particularly detailed timeline.
