St. Katharina in der Scharte, Catholic church in Hafling, Italy
The church features a Gothic choir with ribbed vault, a four-story tower, and a higher Romanesque nave aligned with the choir vault height.
The original structure was destroyed by fire in 1202, followed by the construction of a Romanesque nave consecrated in 1251 by Bishop Egno of Eppan.
The interior contains wall paintings from the early 15th century depicting scenes from Saint Catherine's life, along with sculptures of religious figures.
The church underwent extensive renovations between 1982 and 1984, with additional preservation work completed in 1999 to maintain its structural integrity.
Local legend tells of two giants who built Saint Katharina and Saint Jakob churches simultaneously, leading to a dispute between them.
