History of St Nicholas and the churchyard

How far back does the church at Ilkahöhe date?

St Nicholas was first recorded in 1329. The Bavarian heritage list describes its core as late medieval and records a Baroque remodelling in 1723. The churchyard is therefore part of a site that developed over centuries rather than a modern municipal cemetery.

What is the ossuary at the cemetery wall?

A former bone house, or ossuary, stands at the north-east corner of the cemetery wall. The heritage list dates the wall and ossuary to the 17th and 18th centuries.

Grave care at Ilkahöhe Churchyard

What matters before care or design work begins?

Provide the cemetery name, the person buried there, the grave number or location description and the requested scope. Because this is a historic ensemble, clarify local and burial-right requirements before changing a monument, edging or design.
