    The village church in Affalterthal
    Translated by
    Medieval choir tower church located in the center of the village between the rectory and the former schoolhouse.
    A stately chapel is said to have existed in Affalterthal as early as 1071 (according to the chronicle of Hans von Egloffstein).
    A chapel was built in 1430 (according to Erich von Guttenberg).
    The nave was expanded to its current state in 1530.
    Renovated in 1781, 1851, 1887, 1936, 1966, and 1995.
    A baroque pulpit, made of linden wood, dates from 1672.
    In the tower chancel is a baroque crucifix, also from around 1700.
