Best Hikes to Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary (Juradom), Hollfeld

Tips

  • The Hollfeld parish church has been destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries. After the great town fire of 1724, which also destroyed the church and vicarage, the church was renovated. However, its condition deteriorated more and more, so that in 1777 a new building was decided. Between 1778 and 1781 the Hollfeld parish church was rebuilt from scratch.
    Fritz Ignaz Michael Neumann, the son of the famous Balthasar Neumann, had originally submitted plans for a central building, but these did not meet with the approval of the Hollfeld community. In the end, the decision was made to go with a design by Bamberg master builder Johann Josef Vogel. Already on June 16, 1781, the church could be handed over to its purpose, the solemn consecration did not take place until September 10, 1826. The Hollfeld parish church Mariaä Himmelfahrt is an impressive example of Franconian church architecture. On the outside you can admire the simple, early classical elegance and on the inside the rich and high-quality furnishings of the former Bamberg Dominican Church, which blend harmoniously into the church interior.
    Some of the information comes from the website of the city of Hollfeld: hollfeld.de
