First mentioned in a document in 1230, from 1250 the pastoral care for the city of Freising was transferred from Domberg to the Moosach Valley to a building that preceded today's Georgskirche. "St. Jörg im Moos” was probably created in the 10th century and the church was obviously rebuilt around 1200. The east facade adjoins the market square "Marienplatz" and forms the urban center of the town with the town hall that was built next to it.

Today's church was a new building from 1440, built in the late Gothic style and completed in 1494. It is a three-nave relay hall; the vaults of the two aisles are slightly lower than the central nave. The net vault contains beautifully painted keystones. The two portals are located at the south and north at the back of the church. The crucifix on the chancel arch - a larger-than-life corpus - was created around 1450. On the west wall (southern aisle) an early baroque monumental large sculpture "Saint George fighting the dragon" from 1660. On the west wall (northern aisle) three late Gothic wooden altarpieces "Last Judgment".

The 84 meter high baroque tower in the west of the church - with the lantern cupola, which you can climb to the balustrade every Saturday afternoon from May to October - was built by Antonio Riva from 1679 to 1689. The previous tower buildings were demolished due to dilapidation, which also has to do with the subsoil. The tower has a four-storey base, followed by the bell storey.

A quiet place in the middle of Freising's lively old town.
