"1964 vollendeter Kirchenbau in Form eines Oktogons, Architekt Franz Xaver Gärtner (* 1925 bei Neumarkt/Opf., + 1989 in Neumarkt/Opf.), Schüler bei Architekt Sep Ruf. Gärtners erster selbständiger Kirchenbau lehnt sich an das Vorbild von Sep Rufs Kirchen in München-Bogenhausen an. Die Kirche wird durch bunte Glasfenster und ein Fenster im Zenit der Decke erleuchtet. Die meisten Ausstattungsstücke stammen von den beiden Künstlern Prof. Josef Hanselmann und Hubert Elsässer. Die Kirche ist tagsüber geöffnet." (visit link)
