Pfarrkirche St. Gallus

Pfarrkirche St. Gallus is a parish church built in Romanesque Revival style with a distinctive interior layout. The space is defined by eight wooden column pairs supporting a wooden ceiling throughout the nave.

A wooden church originally stood at this location from 882, marking a place of faith for centuries. The current building was erected between 1858 and 1860 according to designs by architect Gottlieb Pfeilsticker.

The name Gallus refers to an Irish saint venerated in this region during medieval times. Visitors can still sense this historical devotion within the church today.

The church is best visited during regular service times organized by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart. The location on Kirchstraße makes it easily accessible on foot from the town center.

The church organ was built in 1957 and underwent modification in 2011, offering 49 registers across three manuals and pedal. This neo-baroque instrument provides the space with distinctive acoustic qualities.
