The church sits on a hillside above the village and can be reached by several paths. Visitors should be aware that it involves a climb and the terrain can be uneven, especially in bad weather.
The bell tower was completed between 1490 and 1493 and served as a timekeeping signal for local miners. The bells announced when work began in the nearby mining shafts and were an important part of daily life in the village.
