The parish church of St. Laurentius in the village of St. Lorenzen at 1477 m above sea level is the highest parish in Carinthia. There is documentary evidence of a Capella S. Mariae et S. Laurentii in alpibus.
The church of St. Margaret in St. Margaret's was first mentioned in documents in 1307 and as a parish church in 1433. In its present form it was built in Gothic style at the end of the 15th century.
The Lutheran parish church in Wiedweg was first mentioned in 1787 as a Filiale zu St. Margarethen or Wiederschwing. Wiedweg was a branch of Feld am See until 1898, then of Gnesau until 1950; since 1954 Wiedweg has been an independent parish.
The Filial Church of St. Anna above St. Lorenzen is a later baroqueized, originally Gothic building of the 14th century.
