Ranshofen Parish Church

In the 10th century, the church and manor (praemium) Ranshofen were mentioned, where a pastor named Hanto worked around 1040. A parish church was consecrated in 1135 and, after its destruction, was consecrated again in 1283. The new construction of the collegiate church began in 1508 and altars were consecrated in 1515. After the collapse of the tower in 1621, a semicircular western extension was added to the nave. The new tower was built from 1622 to 1630. The church interior was baroqueized from 1697 to 1699, with the southern aisle in the basement being walled up. An interior restoration took place from 1946 to 1948.

The baroqueized Gothic stepped hall has a west tower. The originally three-aisled, four-bay nave has a southern aisle walled up in the basement in 1697, which is open to an oratory corridor on the upper floor. The nave and northern aisle are barrel-vaulted with lunettes, using the Gothic vaults. The four-bay choir, raised by two steps and the width of the nave, has a three-eighths closure.

The extraordinarily richly furnished high altar, occupying the entire choir closure and featuring excellent statues, was erected in 1698. The altarpiece was painted by the painter Johann Kaspar Sing. The six side altars from 1699, without an actual structure, show paintings by the painter Johann Philipp Ruckerbauer from Sarleinsbach in richly decorated acanthus frames.
