The Catholic Parish Church of Saint Mary of The Assumption is an originally-Gothic, Baroque Wall Pillar Church, in Schongau, in the Weilheim-Schongau district, Upper Bavaria, Germany.

It belongs to the Parish Community of Schongau, in the Diocese of Augsburg.

The Church of The Assumption of Mary is the oldest Church in the City of Schongau, and is mentioned for the first time, in 1253, in the documents of The Rottenbuch Monastery. [1]

The first Church building was probably a Three-Aisled Romanesque Basilica from the 13th-Century, which can be deduced from the remains of the Foundations in the Northern area.

The Eastern parts were apparently rebuilt in the 15th-Century. Remnants of this Gothic complex are still preserved in The Choir and Tower. The Choir Vault was rebuilt in 1667 after the Tower collapsed.

The Nave was rebuilt in 1751–1753; the Plan for it is ascribed to the Munich Court Architect, Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer. The execution of these works was supervised by The Master Builder, Johann Bauer, and The Master Bricklayer, Lorenz Sappel.

The Church, Consecrated in 1754, was renovated on the outside in 1973 and 1999 – 2002 on the inside, while reconstructing the original version from 1761.
