Rott - St. Johannes der Täufer

There may have existed a baptismal church during the time of the Christianization of the region. The first parish church probably had a wooden structure. Around 1140, Adalbert von Rott is the first name of a pastor. In 1226, the parish of Rott was incorporated into the Wessobrunn monastery and looked after by the monastery until secularization in 1803.

I was lucky to meet archaeologists here, who were excavating the foundation. They had found, that the oldest part of the building is the west tower, which has Romanesque elements in its lower area, dated around 1200.

From 1724 to 1727 the dilapidated church was enlarged and redesigned in the Baroque style.
