Burgkirche Schöllang

Burgkirche Schöllang is a church set on a wooded ridge near Rubi with a three-sided choir and sacristy. The walls contain niches for religious sculptures.

A lightning strike destroyed the roof and tower in 1579, after which Bishop Marquard von Berg funded a new bell cast in Kempten. The church was then rebuilt and restored.

The high altar shows the Archangel Michael defeating fallen angels, while wooden figures of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and Saint John Nepomuk stand on either side.

The cemetery chapel is accessible daily during spring and summer months, while winter access depends on weather conditions. Visitors should be prepared for varying conditions if coming outside these seasons.

The wooden ceiling displays stylized plant patterns in red, blue, and black that preserve design elements from before the 1579 lightning strike. These colorful patterns are among the details that visitors often overlook.
