In Tutzing there are a large number of churches and chapels.
We present a small selection of churches here.
Church services are offered in Tutzing itself, as well as in the various parts of the town. Information on this can be found on the respective websites of the Catholic parish of St. Joseph and the Protestant parish.
St. Joseph
The Catholic parish church was built in 1928/29 according to the plans of the Munich architect Richard Steidle in the neo-Baroque style. Due to its size and the high double towers with their cupolas and lantern turrets, it became the landmark of Tutzing, visible far beyond the lake. The ringing of bells can be heard across the lake.
The altarpiece is a copy after G. B. Tiepolo’s “Adoration of the Magi”.
The high altar designed by the architect Ludwig Behr is a donation of the then lord of the castle Marcell of Nemes. The church is home to a Sandtner organ, which is also played outside of church services at various concerts (e.g. Tutzinger Orgelherbst, Brahmstage).
St. Peter and Paul
The old parish church, located near the lake, was until the early 20th century the most important church of the Hofmark Tutzing. In its present form, the church was built on the foundations of an old Gothic building in 1738/39. Since the 19th century the interior is neo-Romanesque. The ceiling painting shows the “rich fishing of Peter” and the Stations of the Cross.
The west front is decorated with a fresco of St. Christophorus, the outside of the choir with a mural of St. Ulrich, painted by Karl Gries (1973), provided.
St. Francis Chapel
Seamlessly adjoining the parish church of St. Joseph is the Roncallihaus (parish center), which houses the St. Francis Chapel.
The simply designed chapel features colorful floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows by Walter Habdank (1930-2001). These are his last creation design before his death.

St. Nicholas (Oberzeismering)
The Evangelical Christ Church
The light-flooded nave is divided into two interconnecting rooms. Hörl, a conceptual artist, has used a light sculpture to symbolically illustrate that “with Christ, the light of the world, a piece of heaven has come to earth.” The vertical incidence of light and the resulting play of light define the entire church space.
