History
Kirchensur was first mentioned in the 10th century as "Sur", which means as much as acidic water. In the 13th century Kirchensur was an Obmannschaft and from 1800 up to the connection to Amerang (1970) a separate municipality.
1876 the village got its own school, which existed until the integration into the school of Eiselfing (1969).
The time of establishment of the church is not confirmed, but probably it existed before the beginning of the 11th century..
In the 16th century Kirchensur consisted of about ten buildings, 1914 of about 15 and nowadays already of 41 buildings (with house numbers).
