St. Ägidius Church, Amlingstadt

The previous building of the church is likely to be one of the oldest churches in the Bamberg district. In 793, Charlemagne commissioned the Würzburg bishop to build 14 churches in this region between Regnitz and Main in order to evangelize the Slavs who lived here.

Excavations show that the previous buildings of today's church in Amlingstadt go back to the Carolingian era around 800 AD. During this time, the missionary work of the Slavs who lived in Regnitz and Main took place. The late Gothic church was built between 1420 and 1442. After it was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt and redesigned in a baroque style after 1644.

The Roman Catholic branch church of St. Ägidius is located in the Amlingstadt part of the Strullendorf community in the Bamberg district (Upper Franconia, Bavaria).
The listed building is registered as an architectural monument in the Bavarian monument list under the monument number D-4-71-195-31.
The parish belongs to the Geisberg-Regnitztal pastoral area in the Bamberg deanery of the Bamberg archdiocese.
The patron saint of the church is Saint Ägidius. (Source: Wikipedia)
