St. Sebastian
St. Sebastian is a parish church in Edlmannsberg, within the municipality of Furth in Lower Bavaria, Germany. Its late Gothic structure dates from the fifteenth century. A four-storey north tower marks the exterior and gives the building its strongest architectural feature.
The interior changed in 1741, when craftsmen added Baroque stucco and frescoes showing scenes from Saint Sebastian’s life. These decorations preserve eighteenth-century religious art and connect the church with local worship and tradition. The high altar also dates from 1741 and centres on a linden-wood statue of Mary holding the Child.
The sculpture dates from around 1510 to 1520. Saint Barbara and Saint Catherine stand beside it as accompanying figures from the same period as the altar. Together, the tower, painted scenes, carved linden wood and Baroque ornament show how a medieval parish church gained a new interior while retaining its earlier structure.
