Parish Church of St. Jakob (St. James) with its onion tower, it sits majestically on the ‘Kirchberg’ and can be seen from far and wide. It was remodelled in its present form in 1785, with its baroque decoration in fine Wessobrunner stucco work and brightly coloured ceiling frescos by the Bavarian-school façade painter (‘Lüftlmaler’) from Oberammergau, Franz Zwink. Important Virgin of Mercy.
