Their story
Alexander Sigismund von der Pfalz-Neuburg, born in Neuburg an der Donau on April 16, 1663, was a respected member of the House of Wittelsbach. His life was centered around the Church, embracing an ecclesiastical career that saw him rise through significant ranks. Notably, he held the title of Prince-Bishop of Augsburg, a position of considerable spiritual and temporal influence within the Holy Roman Empire. Though a duke of Bavaria by birthright, his primary legacy is connected to his dedicated service within the Church.
