St. Michael in Pfersee
One of countless Baroque churches with an onion dome in Bavaria: the former parish church of the village of Pfersee near Augsburg, which has been part of the city since 1911.
St. Michael was rebuilt in 1685 on the remains of a medieval church. The octagonal addition to the tower with the onion dome was constructed in 1693 by Hans Georg Mozart, a Baroque master builder and great-granduncle of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose ancestors, including his father Leopold, all originate from the Augsburg region.
From 1907 to 1910, a new and much larger parish church, namely the Herz-Jesu Kirche, was built because the population had grown enormously due to industrialization.
