St. Nikolaus parish church

The church features a Neoclassical design with Baroque elements on the west facade, incorporating tall arched windows across two levels and double galleries.

Built between 1794 and 1798 by architects Johann Jakob Haltiner and Hans Ulrich Haltiner, the church structure replaced an earlier worship site from 1278.

The interior displays stuccowork by Peter Anton Moosbrugger and a pulpit with reliefs of the four Evangelists by Josef Simon Moosbrugger from 1795.

The building contains a Walcker organ from 1967 with 40 registers across three manuals and pedals, modified in 1977 and 1990 by Orgelbau Kuhn.

The church features a wooden crucifix from 1500 above the choir arch, preserved from the previous church that was demolished in 1794.
