    Rottau is a so-called church village. The village of Rottau was built around the church of St. Michael.
    The church was mentioned in a document as early as 1195.
    However, it was destroyed twice, in 1504 and 1704, and rebuilt each time.
    The onion dome dates from the 18th century.
    In 1954 the nave was rebuilt and expanded.
    The flat wooden ceiling, which is rather unusual for Bavarian churches, dates from this time. However, I think that this church is worth seeing precisely because of this wooden ceiling.

    The Rottau Church was mentioned in a document as early as 1195. The extensive and interesting history of the church can be read here: grassau.de/kirche-st-michael
    And yes, the wooden ceiling is unusual and impressive.
    The church was also open during Corona times, an FFP2 mask inside is mandatory. You can light candles in the nearby Marienkapelle in front of the Marienbild (not possible in the church itself).

    This Rottau church is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, the name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted in paintings or as a statue with a flaming sword. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day is September 29th.
