Saint Mauritius Catholic Church

The Saint Mauritius Catholic Church spans 55 by 26 meters with sandstone pilasters dividing its facades and a prominent bell tower topped with a dome.

The construction of the current church building occurred between 1782 and 1793, with Niklaus Purtschert overseeing the nave while Jakob Singer designed the bell tower.

The interior features Rococo stuccos, frescoes by Josef Anton Messmer, and a high altar painting that reproduces Raphael's Transfiguration in the choir section.

The church maintains regular Mass schedules, hosts community gatherings, and provides special services during Advent and major religious celebrations throughout the year.

The adjacent rectory, built between 1635 and 1655, contains an integrated Three Kings chapel, a chapter hall, and a hunting room storing the church's treasures.
