Holy Cross Church

The Holy Cross Church stands with a three-storey tower and features a nave divided into three aisles by columns and pillars throughout the interior.

The original structure from the 13th century was destroyed in the 1689 town fire, leading to reconstruction under the Vorarlberg Architectural School guidance.

The Renaissance crucifix from 1521 resides in the Josefs-Chörlein side choir, while Franz Lichtenauer created the high altar in 1740.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours explaining the architectural elements and historical significance of the baroque building.

Gothic choir sections of the church contain visible remnants of the original medieval walls, preserving architectural elements from different construction periods.
