Sankt Nikolaus, Parish church and cemetery in Elbigenalp, Austria
Sankt Nikolaus consists of a baroque church with large round-arched windows, circular windows, and a steep gabled roof covered with wooden shingles.
The original parish of the Lechtal Valley dates back to 1312, with church construction beginning around 1300 and expansions occurring in the 15th century.
Johann Jakob Zeiller created interior frescoes in 1775, including The Triumph of Christ's Redemption and scenes of Saint Nicholas saving a Christian slave.
The cemetery contains two chapels: the Martinskapelle, which functions as an ossuary, and the Kriegergedächtnis-Kapelle with a Rudolf Geisler-Moroder crucifix.
The upper sacristy preserves a 1450s Swabian fresco depicting Christ as World Judge with angels and apostles in vivid detail.
