Discover Moorenweis

Churches and cultural highlights

Moorenweis offers several points of interest for culture enthusiasts, with its many churches. The parish church of St. Sixtus in Moorenweis is a cultural attraction. In the district of Dünzelbach, the parish church of St. Nicholas, with its Baroque and Rococo furnishings, offers a specific art-historical highlight. This brings two different themes into focus: St. Sixtus as a cultural attraction, and St. Nicholas with its distinctive tradition of furnishings. When choosing cultural sites to visit with your family, you can weigh up whether St. Sixtus’s appeal as a cultural destination or the art-historical highlight of St. Nicholas better suits your interests.

The churches in Grunertshofen and Albertshofen also differ in their roles in community life. The parish church of St. Lawrence in Grunertshofen is one of the churches in the municipality of Moorenweis where services are held regularly. Services are held only occasionally at the little Church of St. Lawrence in Albertshofen. This means two different rhythms of community life sit alongside the art-historical highlight in Dünzelbach. The focus is therefore not solely on matters of style: the rhythm of church services also offers a distinct way to experience community life.

More cultural attractions in the wider destination of Fürstenfeldbruck

The wider destination of Fürstenfeldbruck offers its own cultural attractions. Furthmühle preserves its grain-milling and sawmill machinery in its original, working condition. The combination of originality and functionality draws attention both to the preservation of the machinery and to its technical function. This gives it a different focus from the churches and their art-historical features in Moorenweis. The Fürstenfeldbruck Museum is housed in the former monastery brewery and explores, among other topics, the work of the “white monks” of the Cistercian Order. On the Fürstenfeld monastery grounds, the Abbey Church of the Assumption of Mary is considered one of the most magnificent Baroque churches in the country.

The Fürstenfeld Event Forum hosts markets, trade fairs and balls, as well as performances ranging from early music and piano summer concerts to blues, jazz, dance, shows and cabaret. As individual events vary, it is worth checking the dates for your chosen travel period.
