Pleiskirchen: Holzland, Churches and Klebing Castle

Pleiskirchen is located in the hilly Holzland region. There are several different points of interest to consider when planning your trip: churches with different building phases, Klebing Castle, and golf and a cycling tour geared towards sports enthusiasts. The historical information ranges from Late Gothic features and medieval dates to later alterations. This lets you decide whether architecture or a sporting activity should shape your stay.

Churches with Different Building Phases

The Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas in Pleiskirchen is a hall church of Gothic origin and was Baroque in style in 1631/32. Its tower superstructure dates from 1882; the cemetery wall was partially renovated in 1983. The building therefore brings together its Gothic origins and later alterations.

The Catholic Church of the Assumption of Mary in Nonnberg has a Late Gothic choir and nave and was consecrated in 1427. Its tower probably dates back to an earlier church consecrated in 1218. The Catholic branch church of St. George in Georgenberg was built in 1496 on older foundations, which probably date from the 12th or 13th century.

The Catholic Church of St. Kolomann in Sigrün is a Late Gothic brick hall church dating from the second half of the 15th century. Its tower has a stepped gable. Comparing the construction dates reveals different ways of dating the buildings: Nonnberg's consecration and Georgenberg's construction are each dated to a specific year, while St. Kolomann is assigned to an era. The term “hall church” describes the basic layout; the choir, nave, tower superstructure and stepped gable draw attention to individual architectural features.

Klebing Castle and Its Architecture

Klebing Castle in Klebing is a three-storey, four-wing complex with an octagonal tower and decorative plasterwork. It was probably built on older foundations in the second half of the 17th century; the castle chapel was built at the same time. The term “four-wing complex” describes the overall layout, while the octagonal tower and decorative plasterwork refer to further architectural features.

Rolling Hills, Golf Course and Cycling Tour

The hilly Holzland region defines Pleiskirchen's landscape. One specific leisure activity is the Pleiskirchen Golf Club, with its 18-hole championship course. The golf course is set in an attractive landscape, with the nearby Inn Valley as its backdrop. From there, you can see nearby villages and the mountain panorama of the Bavarian-Austrian Alps. The course type and the view describe different aspects: the golf facilities and their natural surroundings.

The “Tour de Holzland” cycling route also passes through Pleiskirchen. It is aimed at athletic mountain bikers or ambitious e-bikers with a fully charged battery. This explicitly identifies the sporting audience the route is intended for. If you include the tour in your plans, it is advisable to check the current trail conditions before setting out. The golf course and the tour offer different ways to decide what to focus on during your trip.
