St. Ägidius

The church features a Baroque nave with Gothic choir, stepped buttresses, pointed arch windows, and a square tower from the Romanesque period.

Initial construction began in 1407, incorporating remnants of an 11th-century Romanesque structure, with major renovations between 1751 and 1753 by master mason Wendel Schwesinger.

The interior displays Baroque-era furnishings, including elevated altars, side altars by Franz Martin Mutschele, and carved reliefs representing religious narratives.

The church reopened in 2015 following extensive repairs after a fire in 2013 that damaged paintings, sculptures, organ, and destroyed the pulpit.

The church houses a Steinmeyer organ from 1979 with 27 registers across two manuals and pedals, built into an older organ prospect.
