Description
St. Hubertus' Parish Church in the Schlossstrasse, listed as a historical building, was built between 1768 and 1770 to plans by the architect Joseph Moretti. Standing half way up a hill above the road, it towers above many of the houses in the village. As early as the end of the 14th century, a Gothic church stood in the same place. St. Hubertus' Church is surrounded by a cemetery, which in turn is enclosed by an enceinte in accordance with ancient tradition. The sacristy and the tower at the front are the work of the architect Wildt and were built in 1902 and 1910 respectively. The typical, octagonal belltower also dates from that time. In its interior, the church is decorated and fitted out magnificently: an altar from the year 1776, 19th-century wooden panelling, and wall paintings from the beginning of the 20th century, some of them gold-plated, invite the visitor to come in and have a look round. St. Hubertus' Church is part of the network of open churches.
