St. Joseph's Church Expositure

The St. Joseph's Church Expositure in Kulz is one of the younger church buildings in the Neunburg deanery, as it was built after a major fire between 1870 and 1876. The church was built in the neo-Gothic style and has been renovated several times over the years. The exterior design is simple, with the gable cross, a granite work weighing 28 hundredweight, being worth mentioning. When you enter the church, the richly decorated granite offertory box with the year 1769 immediately catches your eye on the left; this probably comes from the former castle chapel.
The wooden altars that were created before the turn of the century give the neo-Gothic era the name "carpenter's Gothic". The main altar is dedicated to the church's patron saint, St. Joseph; St. Peter is on the left and St. Paul is on the right. The tips of the altar end in Gothic pinnacles with finials.
The statue in the left side altar represents St. Sebastian, who is revered as a patron saint and helper against plague and epidemics. Brother Konrad kneels in prayer in front of the main altar.
The left side altar is the altar of the Virgin Mary with St. Mary, next to it is a statue of the Sacred Heart, also known as the Savior of the World.
The altar room is illuminated by two colorful windows with depictions of the Sacred Heart and the Sacred Heart of Mary, which benefactors donated in 1911. Above the main altar in the choir are the portraits of the four evangelists.
The newly designed St. Joseph's Church in Kulz is, according to well-known experts, a rarity in the diocese of Regensburg. The nave is described as pure neo-Gothic with sophisticated, colorful color schemes. Therefore, the original state of the neo-Gothic should definitely be preserved because of its great rarity.
