A pearl among the art treasures of Lower Bavaria
This is how the little church in Berghofen is called. The most valuable treasures here are Gothic frescoes from around 1420. On the side walls of the choir room we see many individual depictions from the life of St. Peter.
The tower, with its Romanesque basement and thick walls, used to be a defensive tower. He served uncertain times. even if they couldn't keep their belongings safe in it, they at least saved their bare lives.

A special art treasure in Lower Bavaria is the St. Peter and Paul branch church in Berghofen. On the side walls of the little church there are Gothic frescoes (around 1420) depicting many scenes from the life of St. Peter. The tower with its Romanesque basement and thick walls used to be a defense tower. It served the farmers of the surrounding wooden houses as a refuge from raids. The Berghofen branch church was rebuilt in its current form around 1400. The frescoes were exposed in 1913 and the church was renovated in 1956.

The church is usually locked. The residents of the house across the street have a key and can, if necessary, unlock it for viewing. A small donation in the basket should then be a matter of course.
