Parish Church of St. Sigismund The parish of Pleystein was founded on December 14, 1395, through the division of the parish of Miesbrunn. The first parish church was built in 1396, but was repeatedly destroyed during the Hussite Wars. Over the centuries, the church underwent many constructions, expansions, alterations, and restorations. The building, dating from the second half of the 18th century, fell victim to the fire of 1901. The current church and rectory were designed by the Regensburg architect Heinrich Haubenrisser; it is one of his most outstanding buildings and is a listed building. Also noteworthy is the interior, which reflects the Neo-Gothic style in every detail. Traditional figures blend harmoniously into the overall complex. The choir contains the carved winged altar. On the left side, it depicts the Last Supper, on the right, the image of Pentecost, and on the two wings, scenes from the life of the church's patron saint, St. Sigismund, are depicted. At the top of the altar is God the Father holding a globe. Above the wings, in the center, is a statue of Saint Sigismund, to his right is Saint Florian, and to his left is Saint George the Knight. The windows behind the winged altar depict the Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary on the left, and the Nativity of Jesus and the Adoration of the Shepherds on the right. The window to the right of the high altar depicts the dove with the olive branch that Noah sent out after the Flood. The princes of the apostles Peter and Paul can be seen in the niches at the window to the left of the altar. The right side altar features a Sacred Heart altarpiece. Alongside this depiction are figures of Saint Joseph and Saint Aloysius, and in the excerpt is a crucifixion group with Mary and John. The left side altar is a Marian altarpiece. It depicts the young Madonna with the Child Jesus, handing a rosary to Saint Dominic. The two wings depict the Visitation and Coronation of Mary, and the excerpt features statues of Saint Barbara and Saint Catherine on the sides and Mary with the Christ Child in the center.
