Due to the patronage of St. Martin is believed to be a very old parish, whose history goes back to the time of Franconian rule. In 1269/71 Wertingen was first referred to as an oppidum, a city. The oldest surviving impression of the city seal from 1297 already contains an image of a church. The seal from 1298 shows a two-towered Romanesque basilica, the towers of which are covered by a tent roof. A similar illustration can also be found on the seal of a document from 1374. After the city burned down in 1462 during an attack by Louis the Rich, the Duke of Bavaria-Landshut, the towers of the church were rebuilt on the Romanesque basement and a new choir was built. This church, built in the Gothic style, was also burned down when the Swedes occupied the city during the Thirty Years' War. In 1648, work began on rebuilding the church in the Baroque style according to the plans of an unknown master builder. Around 1700 a new nave was built, which was decorated with rich stucco decorations by Wessobrunn artists. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin_(Wertingen)

The Catholic parish church of St. Martin in Wertingen, a community in the Dillingen district on the Danube in the Bavarian administrative region of Swabia, dates back to a Romanesque church. After being destroyed several times, today's church was built around 1700 in the Baroque style. The two towers, which are covered with a gable roof and crowned by battlements, are unusual.

The Mönchsdeggingen monastery is a former monastery of the Mariannhill missionaries. It was in the 10th/11th. Founded Century. When the last monk left, the monastery was finally closed in 2009. The monastery church and the cemetery were transferred to a church foundation. The monastery building is in private hands. Unfortunately, the monastery church was closed when we visited.

Unfortunately, the Martinsklause in the monastery courtyard is permanently closed! The restaurant can be leased for larger celebrations / parties! Contact information is posted on the front door
