Moosburg - St. Kastulus
End of the 8th century a monastery existed here, owning the relics of Saint Kastulus, that had been "translated" to Moosburg from Rome. This monastery was converted into a collegiate, after the last Benedictian monks had moved to Weihenstephan Abbey in 1021. After the old abbey church had collapsed the erection of a new church started in 1170.
This was done under the guidance of Albert I. (aka Adalbert I.), the Bishop of Freising and so there are many parallels between these two large structures. The Freising Cathedral was the first large brick building in Bavaria (after the Romans had left) - and St. Kastulus in Moosburg was the second.
The western portal of St. Kastulus, known as "Adalbert-Portal", was carved before 1212. It was made from the same sandstones as the little older portal of the Scots Monastery in Regensburg - and the carvers probably knew that masterpiece. According to Gottfried Weber ("Die Romanik in Oberbayern") this portal in Moosburg is one of the greatest works of Romanesque art in Bavaria.
Here are the pillar heads of the right side. This side is very similar to the left side with the "pillar-eaters" and the lion, but instead of a flute player (paradise?) here is a bare chested, grim looking man, holding up heads. A headsman (hell?)? May the braids of the left he holds, be a symbol of the Hungarians (aka "Magyars"), who raided Bavaria more than two centuries earlier? It is for sure a very strong warning. Below the right head is (not to be seen here) a large key.
