Culture and sights
Parish Church of St. Philip and St. James
Around 1500 a chapel stood here. In 1610 and 1682 new buildings were erected and the present church with tower was built in 1710. In 1796 the church was redesigned by Josef Anton Natter and Josef Simon Moosbrugger. In 1956/1957 the church was enlarged again and an organ loft was installed according to plans by Kaspar Albrecht. There are stucco decorations by Franz Michael Felder (1796) and figures by Christian Moosbrugger (1928). On the south wall of the choir there is a monument with a profile portrait of the poet Franz Michael Felder (1839-1869).
Armenseelenkapelle built towards the end of the 19th century in the Himmelriese, rebuilt in 2018 in solid wood construction (cross laminated timber). In the process, the finished walls and the already assembled roof truss with copper-covered tower were placed on the foundation by helicopter. The new building was largely financed by volunteer labor as well as donations.
The plans were made by Werner Moosbrugger.
