Bad Tölz Parish Church (Stadtpfarrkirche)

Replete with three naves, the late Gothic Assumption of the Virgin Mary town parish church is worth a detour when traveling along the Marktstraße in Bad Tölz. Today, the church is one of a group of listed buildings, along with the historic center of the town. The tower, built in 1466, was only crowned with its neo-Gothic spire in 1877; prior to this, its sole protection had been in the form of a gable.
Numerous Renaissance tombs of noble families from the 16th and 17th centuries can be found... in the church. A copy of the much-imitated holy image by Lucas Cranach the Elder from the cathedral in Innsbruck hangs in the Mary’s Help Chapel in the rear of the church. The tomb of Kaspar Winzerer III lies behind the high altar and an imposing marble table; Winzerer was an important military commander who died in 1541 as a result of an injury sustained whilst jousting. He bore the nickname ‘The Golden Rider’. more
