Schotten Church
A Unique Church of Iro-Schotten Origin
Located in the Freyung, the Schotten Church (Schottenkirche) is a parish church attached to the Schottenstift, founded by Iro-Schotten Benedictine monks in the 12th century.
The first church version was a three-aisled Romanesque pillar church, destroyed by a fire in 1276. The church was destroyed and restored numerous times over the generations, such as when it was rebuilt in a Baroque style after 1638.
The interior of the church has several chapels with a new altar-piece in the prelates' hall. The high altar was built after sketches of Heinrich Ferstel, with glass mosaics. And don't miss out on the fine ceiling paintings.
