St. Vitus Parish Church Veitshöchheim

St. Vitus is the Catholic parish church of Veitshöchheim.Around 1200, a Romanesque church was built on the same site and placed under the protection of St. Vitus (Veit), whose name was passed on to the place. The tower of this building has been preserved.The nave was replaced at the end of the 17th century by a rectangular hall church with a Gothic choir and an impressive facade. The portal front shows forms of the Roman Baroque.The rich Baroque furnishings include the high altar with the altarpiece of the martyrdom of St. Vitus, two side altars, a pulpit, a baptismal font and other figures of saints.The church was built by the Würzburg prince-bishop Johann Gottfried von Guttenberg, whose coat of arms is displayed above the main portal. He had started building Veitshöchheim Castle at about the same time. The funds were provided by St. Stephen's Monastery, to whose lands Veitshöchheim belonged until secularization in 1803. St. Vitus was consecrated on July 17, 1691.Source: Wikipedia
