Grainbach also has a chapel which is located at the Kapellenweg. We first passed the chapel as I was looking for something much bigger. This chapel has an iron grate through which you can take a look at a fresco featuring various holy people.

This „Marterl“ is to be found a bit outside of Grainbach by the Widholz forest next to the road. It says something like that here Simon Schmid, the sacristan of Grainbach, was cut to death by the Croats.
This happened in 1704. In that year marauding soldiers from Austria came through Grainbach because of the Spanish succession war. The sacristan would let them into the church and they axed a hole into the door. The sacristan managed to flee but they caught up with him at the Widholz….

Today’s church dates back to the end of the 15th century and is built on Roman walls. But already before then there was an old fortified church from the high middle ages that was connected with the castle of the ministrials who were in the service of the counts of Dachau. In the 18th century the windows very extended. The interior is rokoko. On the northern walls you may see what is left of a fresco showing the holy Christophorus.
The high altar is from 1766-68 by Joseph Anton Froehlich. The side figures show the holy Kaiser Heinrich II. and holy Valentin. Also the figures of the side altars are well worth looking at as they are of very high quality and were made by Joseph Goetsch and the paintings are by Joseph Anton Hoettinger.
