Pfarrkirche St. Maria Himmelfahrt

The Pfarrkirche St. Maria Himmelfahrt features a Gothic tower foundation topped with baroque architectural elements and decorative stucco work throughout the interior spaces.

Between 1753 and 1755, architect Peter Thumb constructed the church, which later served as an Old Catholic church during the Kulturkampf period from 1874 to 1883.

The ceiling displays religious frescoes by Eustachius Gabriel depicting the Assumption of Mary, the Transfiguration of Christ, and the town patrons Sebastian and Agatha.

Located at Kirchplatz 1 in Waldshut-Tiengen, visitors can contact the church office at +49 7741 2093 or via email for guided tours and service schedules.

The interior combines quotes from ancient authors with biblical passages through emblems, creating an educational narrative throughout the sacred space.
