St. Markus

The St. Markus church features a prominent 56-meter west tower with an ornate spire built on a square base containing four bells from different periods.

The structure evolved from a chapel documented between 1060 and 1072 to become an independent parish by 1250, with major construction occurring from 1477 to 1506.

The church maintains a historical organ built in 1981 within a case from 1725, containing 27 registers across two manuals that contribute to musical performances.

The church location on Hauptstrasse allows direct access for visitors, with regular religious services and musical events throughout the year.

The building demonstrates architectural progression through centuries, combining late Gothic elements with extensions from 1721 that raised nave vaults by six meters.
