Moosburg - St. Kastulus


End of the 8th century a monastery existed here, displaying the relics of martyr Saint Kastulus, that had been "translated" to Moosburg from Rome. This monastery was converted into a noble collegiate, after the last Benedictian monks had moved to Weihenstephan Abbey in 1021. After the old abbey church had collapsed the erection of a new church started in 1170.
The building was done under the guidance of the Bishop of Freising Albert I. (aka Adalbert I.) and so there are many parallels between these two large structures, built during his time. The Freising Cathedral was the first large brick building in Bavaria (after the Romans had left) - and St. Kastulus in Moosburg was the second. Since the secularisation (1803) the church serves as a parish church.
The Gothic choir was added to the Romanesque basilica in 1468 As it is higher than the nave, sunlight floods in from here. The late Gothic altar in the center is a major work of sculptor Hans Leinberger, one of the most reputed artists in Bavaria. He carved the retable 1514/15.
