St. Hilarius Parish Church of Näfels
St. Hilarius Parish Church of Näfels, Catholic church in Näfels, Switzerland
The St. Hilarius Parish Church stands in the heart of Näfels, featuring Baroque architectural elements and displaying strong structural symmetry in its design.
Johann Singer and Jakob Singer from Lucerne designed this religious structure, which was constructed between 1779 and 1781, with renovations completed in 1979.
The church maintains a continuous eternal flame, established following a 14th-century incident, sustained through traditional payments from specific land parcels.
The religious building sits within the ISOS-protected townscape of Näfels, near the Letzhof from 1674 and the Sendlen meadowland framed by medieval walls.
Local landowners provided walnut oil payments to maintain the eternal flame until 2012, when a legal dispute arose regarding this centuries-old tradition.
