Kirchgattendorf Parish Church
Choir stalls are found in churches where a monastery is attached. Each choir member had their hereditary seat. However, it is not possible to talk about a monastery in Kirchgattendorf in about 1510. Or did the lords of Sparneck possibly anticipate that one might be built? Did the choir stalls come from a different institution? The rear sides of the choir stalls are decorated by colourfully toned shallow carvings. Between them, it is possible to see the chevron, the coat of arms of the lords of Sparneck. Kirchgattendorf has definitely lost some valuable items too.
A magnificent altar to the Virgin Mary dating back to about 1510, which was handed over in 1708, is now located in Bamberg Cathedral.
