Sight 2: Sankt Alto
The Catholic parish and former monastery church of St. Alto and St. Birgitta in Altomünster, a market town in the district of Dachau in Bavaria, was built in the second half of the 18th century on the site of a Romanesque predecessor building from the 13th century. The church is dedicated to St. Alto, a hermit who, according to legend, founded a monastery in Altomünster around 760, and St. Bridget of Sweden, the founder of the Order of the Redeemer. The church is one of the last large religious buildings of the Rococo period, the ceiling frescoes by Joseph Mages (1728–1769) and the stucco decoration by Jakob Rauch are already at the transition to classicism. Most of the altarpieces were also executed by Joseph Mages, while most of the altars and carved figures were made by Johann Baptist Straub (1704–1784). For many years, the parish has been cared for by priests of the Teutonic Order.
