Discover Egenhofen through sacred art and a hiking trail: the parish church of St. Leodegar houses a life-size Entombment group, and the “Route 3: Into the Glonnau” trail starts at the fire station in the village. Nearby, historic churches and Furthmühle add to the picture. The wider Fürstenfeldbruck destination offers further cultural and nature-related themes. You can choose between a specific art theme, architectural history and a tour with a stated distance and duration.

Art and Mill History

The life-size Entombment group in the parish church of St. Leodegar in Egenhofen was commissioned around 1726 and is attributed to Andreas Faistenberg. The approximate date of the commission and the attribution provide a specific historical reference point for the work. Nearby, Furthmühle was built in 1828 by J. A. Lindt from Grafing; it was the former manorial mill of Weyern. In the wider Fürstenfeldbruck destination, Furthmühle preserves its grain-mill and sawmill machinery in its original, working condition. Its former role as a manorial mill and the preservation of its technical equipment shed light on different aspects of mill history.

Wenigmünchen is also nearby. The parish church of St. Michael has a Late Gothic core and was altered in the Baroque style in 1730. The Calvary, built in 1740, comprises a funerary chapel, Stations of the Cross and a Crucifixion group. The two destinations can be distinguished by their focus: at St. Michael, attention falls on the Late Gothic core and its later Baroque alterations; at the Calvary, it falls on the named architectural and pictorial elements. If you are interested in sacred architecture, this distinction offers a concrete point of reference.
