Gossmannsdorf Church Market Square 1 97461 Gossmannsdorf Telephone (09523) 5033710 Website: info@hassberge-tourismus.de Of the old church, which was built a century earlier, only the ground floor remains to this day, making it the oldest monument in our village. After the village was elevated to parish status, the hill on which the church stands overlooking the village was fortified with a fortified church complex. This defensive structure had four towers. It served as a safe haven for the villagers in times of war. From 1601 to 1610, Prince-Bishop Julius Echter had the church tower raised by two stories and topped with its tall spire. Following the plans of Joseph Greissing, a student of the famous Würzburg architect Balthasar Neumann, Johann Georg Bierdümpfel, a native of Gossmannsdorf, built the current nave in 1716. The church's interior originally consisted of Gothic winged altarpieces, which were replaced by Baroque altars in the 18th century. The church owes its current, exceptionally valuable furnishings to the dedication and artistic appreciation of Pastor Dr. Ludwig and the generous congregation of that time. The Baroque high altar was acquired from Stadtlauringen in 1894. The beautiful side altars came from the town church of Schweinfurt and were previously located in the Carthusian Church in Würzburg. They are the work of Peter Wagner, the last great Rococo sculptor of Würzburg. Their great artistic value is evident from the fact that the Minister of Culture, von Müller, intended to purchase the altars for the new National Museum in Munich. https://www.gossmannsdorf-hassberge.de/verzeichnis/mandat.php?mandat=141763
