Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Obermässing. It is not only worth seeing, but also worth hearing! "The village, which has 700 inhabitants, is located in a quiet valley between Greding and Hilpoltstein, near the A 9. The parish church is an early Gothic building from around 1280, which was rebuilt in the 17th century under the direction of the master mason Johann Baptist Camesino, who lived in the village and originally came from Graubünden. The slender tower dominates the townscape and was raised to its current height around 1700, also by Camesino. Who would suspect that one of the steel bells with the most bells in Bavaria hangs in this tower? An impressive bell in a rare disposition with semitone steps, which means that practically all the important tonal motifs are included. The large bell develops an appealing sound despite its massive crank. In terms of dimensions, it is the largest bell in the diocese of Eichstätt. Among the bells with the deepest pitch in the diocese of Eichstätt, this one takes third place after the Eichstätt Cathedral and the Plankstetten monastery church. The bells hang on a total of four floors in the tower." (Source: http://www.glockenklaenge.de/orte/rh/obermaessing.html)
