The parish church of St. Florian was built in 1486 as a leper chapel. An original building inscription and two Gothic frescoes from earlier times bear witness to this. From 1931 to 1935 the church was expanded to include the former sacristan and school building and the interior was redesigned in 1969/1970. The modern winged altar dates from 1984. The frescoes were created around 1521. The church is open during the day.

Parish Church of St. Florian

The path to St. Mary's Church on the Bogenberg (completed in 1463) was difficult for the citizens of Bogen. They therefore tried to obtain permission from Duke Albrecht IV and the prelate of Oberalteich for a permanent early mass and thus the construction of a chapel.

Duke Albrecht IV agreed to the construction of the chapel, but Abbot Christian and his Oberalteich convent refused to give their consent. Abbot Christian received assurances from the Bishop of Regensburg that the right to fill the priest position in the Bogen market would remain with the Oberalteich monastery forever.

Duke Albrecht IV stood by his decision to build the chapel. Therefore, in the late summer of 1486, the citizens of Bogen and the leper brotherhood began building a new chapel in Bogen.

From 1927 to 1937, the existing St. Florian's Church was enlarged. Bogen had now become its own parish, so Pastor Franz Xaver Schiller finally pushed through the enlargement of the parish church - as had already been approved in 1866. This goal was achieved in three renovation phases.

From 1931 to 1935, the church of St. Florian was expanded to include the former sacristan and schoolhouse, and from 1969 to 1970 the church was redesigned inside.

The modern winged altar dates from 1984 and shows scenes from the Passion of Christ: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, the crucifixion and the resurrection of Christ. The altar is crowned by the Holy Trinity. In the choir are the statues of

St. Sebastian (left) and the namesake of the church, St. Florian. The altar shows the relief of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples and the ambo the relief of

St. Christopher carrying the baby Jesus. Of the late Gothic fresco cycle from around 1521, only two remain: on the left apse wall, the Madonna of the Protective Cloak and Jesus on the Mount of Olives and on the right apse wall, the Risen Christ with four saints. On May 4, 2003, the new organ of the parish of Saint Florian was consecrated. It replaced the old "post-war organ".
